Motivation of the need for equipment
As of today, Instron has discontinued support for both the software and the digital controller installed on our equipment. The main reason for discontinuing support for outdated electronics is due to the rapid development of the market of electronic components, which require adaptation of the design of boards and modules to a new, commercially available and more advanced element base of electronic components. For the further long-term successful operation of the center, it is necessary to modernize the equipment and software, namely - to replace the 8800 controller with a modern 8800MT controller
