Welcome to the IHoP

Recommended Posts

On the phone with Instron, feeling I'm not going anywhere...

A couple of my employees used to be technical application engineers there, what do you need?

Surprisingly enough I got in touch with a woman who seems competent. What I need is the copy of the old software that we had to run the digital front end on the 400k turret press that SATEC rebuilt in '97. The software is obsolete but I'm trying to get them to see if they have an old copy somewhere we could get, and if we can't she is trying to look up all the specs on it to see if we could even upgrade to the new software for the machine. The kicker is we need to have it operational by next friday. We could get it done by sticking another pressure transducer on the pressure bladder at the bottom and hooking it up to a Keithley data acquisition unit and get it to work for us but we want to fix it right and be done with it. In a perfect world we would get all servo control hydraulics with MTS gear on it instead of the old manual control valves, but no way in hell that could get done in a week.

Acquisition and control are two very different things; glad you found someone who can help. I really doubt that I could find old software for you, but technical help I know I could.

We can still make it go up but we have no way to read the data off....

Ah, the Keithley sort of a bitch to get data off though.

<-- hates non-pc based acquisition systems

We have a couple of them, I don't have to much experience with them but one of our professors has written code for pulling data off and they seem to use them a decent amount.

Gotta love institutes of learning, you have time to write custom code and stuff.

Something wrong with that isn't there... :)

Yea, I'm trying to keep a 300$ pair of boots in decent shape, hoping they last ~20yrs... Dad has some that he has had longer than hes been married to Mom, and thats 25yrs, and he wore those daily in a machine shop...

I'm not even remotely in my right mind to elaborate ATM so I'm just going to say this:

Maturity and degrees from an institution of high learning are about the two biggest overhyped overrated pieces of :bull: on the planet

1.8?

Did they finally fix it so you can load more than 30 or so torrent files at a time?

The last time I upgraded it took forever to load all the files again...
