Tim, Thanks for the feedback, that explains it. A cursory review of the link from Frits doesn't show much about the physical unit except for the software capability. Is it packaged as CP (FCP form) or a Workstation (e.g., the old AW70)? Anyone have a feel for the pricing of SCP270 without any custom app software. I would just use it on an off-line development system to load CP SAVEALLs for testing and development of new control schemes. Joseph M.
