It would no longer be a risk to the company. Data transfer would have to be via diskette or USB thumbdrive. I've worked at other facilities with specialized engineering computers 'off the network'.

For those of you who owns a CI CTS Series for doing Harmonic and Flicker emissions testing, you can sympathize. Our CTS system is currently running off of a Windows XP computer, which is no longer supported by MS. So our IT guys/gals are pressuring me to upgrade. I contacted CI and found out that my current hardware/software will not run on anything newer than XP. I will once again have to update my A/D card and cable and software to THEIR latest which will only run on 32bit Windows 7. So it is going to cost me $5K-$8KUSD to "upgrade" to CI's latest that will ONLY work on a 12 year old operating system and which is due to be unsupported in only a few years. So here is my request. Does anyone out there have another solution that makes better sense? How about a modern A/D system that is compatible with the CI PACS and 3rd party software that will run on the latest PC and operating system (Win 10)?? Has anyone attempted to write their own software to do harmonics and flicker? It seems complicated from reading the standard. Is there a document or paper that describes how the data is collected and what math has to be applied to do the test? Is there a 3rd party solution that replaces the CI PACS system but where I could still use the CT power supply? I apologize for my ignorance on this topic. We purchased this "turn-key" system about 15 years ago and since it works we never had a reason to become experts on how the test results are actually calculated and presented. Thanks to all for any advice.
