Andy,
You are in good hands now, Karl is the best person out there to help with Scintag instruments. I should have mentioned him earlier.
Regards,
Ed

Hi Ed:
No; the system and all the bits were sent to us first (last October), with the computer to follow. I just chatted with Karl Haufmann from Compass Engineering; he also said we need to get the dongle, but once in hand, he would be very happy to provide us with a copy of the software (Thermo may be able to sell us a dongle, but I shudder to think of the cost). I will ask my contact at the company from whom we inherited the system for the dongle. The slow down is that there 'may' be sensitive info on the computer's hard drive (beats the heck out of me how I'd be able to make any sense of the files contained therein) so all are reluctant to pass it on (and have been for six months). Giving us the dongle should be very straightforward, so that will be my first plan of attack.
Are you running this type of system?
Thanks. Andy McD.

Andy,
Did your system come with a computer dongle? The software needs this in order to run, it attaches to the parallel of the PC.
Regards,
Ed

Subject: Software,Scintag XDS2000
Dear all:
We've inherited a fully functioning Scintag XDS2000 theta-theta instrument. Well, I say fully functioning in that we've got the electronics going, but right now, we're struggling with getting access to the software needed to drive it. The company from which we obtained it is not used to 'disposing' of assets like this (no blame to anyone; just the nature of a big company). We've been waiting for about six months now, but it may very well be that the computer associated with the instrument may not be coming in the near future after all. As such, I'm just inquiring as to whether someone out there may have a copy of the software that is collecting dust on a shelf and might not be concerned with parting with it. I have not looked into licensing issues with the software.
Any advice would be welcome.
Regards, Andy McDonald
