SITA 508

Monday, September 25th, 2017

SITA508 will process Sercel508 Instrument test results from the recorded SEGD files. (Limited to FDU tests only)

This allows you to verify that the Sercel or other 3rd Party results are valid. It also gives you a way to see if numeric results have been edited, which is rare, but has been known to happen.
It is very easy to use. Simply point it at the folder where the test files reside and the program does the rest.
Currently the following tests can be processed by SITA508:

FDU Noise
FDU Gain Error
FDU Phase Error
FDU CMRR
FDU Distortion
FDU Pulse
Sensor Noise
Sensor Resistance
Sensor Pulse
Sensor Tilt

Hosting Provider Update

Tuesday, September 5th, 2017

A couple of weeks ago, my hosting provider migrated the site to a new server and for them, a new platform.
For a variety of reasons it didn’t go all to plan.
The first problem was my side – I updated the .htaccess file just before the migration started
and then found the site could not be accessed at all.
I thought it was due to the migration, but I had screwed up the .htaccess file.
Once that was fixed, I found I wasn’t getting email.
That was something on the hosting side.
All’s well that ends well though, it all seems to be up and running now.
But any email sent to me between 22-August and the 1st September have probably been lost.

Lots of people seem to be visiting the Donate page:

But no one donates. I will bear this in mind with future software offerings.
I am getting quite sick of supporting people in an industry that doesn’t want to support me.
