I have an old HP system and I am running basic, I want to use the same type of program in a more modern program (maybe likelabview of measurement studio). I have wrote this software for 10 years and its one of the bets I have seen for material testing. It does all the calculations for all ASTMS for all materials (metals and composites). I have transfered to HPBVASIC fopr windows and liked that and still use my HP3852 and Vishay 2310's. I was wondering is there a transfer program (like the one I used to use like EZ Transfer) to transfer into something usable these days. It was a blessing going from the old HP hardware to a dos/windows environment, but now its time to upgrade into a more modern software package. I
was thinking about using a laptop vs a desktop (and by passing the IEEE card) and maybe using an A/D PCMCIA card - I am still planning on bringing in a voltage - as I still like the Vishay 2310's, as I have them and they were costly.
SO I would have to talk to my new card (whatever it may be in a laptop) and record the data and do stress analysis (like tensile strength, bending, and modulus on the fly).
Thanks - JJ
