My problem stems from the incorperation of a measurement lab for dimensional layouts and spectometer readings, etc. I work for a company that has been QS9000 certified for the last 3 years but now we need to add a labratory to our documantation. Does anyone have any idea where i may find an...

Dear Old IE, Have you checked out www.atiquality.com? They have several new and used units. Regards, G. Umhoefer

Thanks for clearing that up. As you can tell this is definitely not my field of expertise. Thanks again for the assistance Sincerely, G. Umhoefer

Paulism, What you recomend sounds like a product i've seen used on cars called Dynamat. However this product is very expensive, is the material you refer to commonly refered to by it's commercial name. Example; soem people i know still refer to coppiers as Xerox machines after the brand that...

Thanks for the advice. Using tellnet and the ping comand we found one bad switch and the router was going bad. We replaced both and everything works great. Thanks once again.

Hello, I have heard that running Net Beui on a lan may cause conflicts. We are expirencing packet loss on the way to the router (LAN Network with simple switch router) and wonder if the Net Beui setting may be to blame. Any one have any ideas?

I found a need to reduce the amount of low frequency (subwoofer produced) audio waves that get transmitted through my townhouse walls into my neighbors house. He has the same problem, so we would like to know if there is a somewhat affordable way of acousticly deadening the connecting wall...

My partner and i inhearited a old network at our company when the IT Manager retired. We have two old (and dying)12port 10/100 hubs and one 12port 10/100 switch at the heart of our network. Into which a router and two servers feed. The "heart" feeds into local hubs at the general...

Hi VP of Quality, I agree that the Quality Dept. should definetly do there own numbering. It is typicaly the Quality department who performs dimensional and capability studies, and handles the initial flack from a out of tollerance dimensions. So it just makes sense that they number the...

Gianfranco, It's good to see someone agrees with me. However it should be noted that I do also feel that if you can make simpler prints that only show the needed dimensions by all means this is the way to go. An inspector should have the easiest work instruction possible for a given job, as to...

In my field "ballooning" of a drawing is common practice. Every attribute is identified and compared to the actual part. It is also how we identify all SPC dimensions making it easier for the inspectors to find and measure the correct feature. This practice causes very little...

Thanks Laffalot, Your suggestion is helpfull and that is what i have started doing only a little more in the reverse. We have everyone up and started pulling connections off the hub. It made for a tense day of complaints but we narrowed down who is where. Wouldn't it be better to have one...

I have been asigined to track down and map all the network wires. I am looking for equipment that i can use to find where specific CAT 5 wires go. We have about 45 stations on the network with 5 mini hubs on the plant floor and 3 hubs with one main switch in my office. Do to an almost...
