 '99 in Germany by Simpson Technologies, Aurora, Illinois Aurora is the largest city in Kane County, Illinois. The city also lies within DuPage, Will and Kendall counties. As reported in the 2000 U.S. census, the city was home to 142,990 people, while the city's estimated 2006 population is 170,617. , as an addition to the Simpson+Gerosa sand laboratory testing equipment.

With a set of easily exchangeable heads, the device can provide measurements of AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System.

 B Scale, AFS C Scale, penetration mold hardness and scratch tests. In addition, its multi-line, alphanumeric display provides information on the name of the operator using the device, the name of the mold or pattern being tested, the date and time of each test, and the date of the last calibration of the device.

The tester has several modes of operation, including:

* point-to-point, which provides the ability to collect data on up to 500 individual data measurement points;

* average mode, which provides an average of the measurement points the operator selects;

* scan mode, which provides a sequential record of the measurement points the operator selects. When downloaded to a computer, this information can be used to profile the hardness of a mold pocket;

* transfer mode, which provides the ability to transfer the collected data via an infrared port A transmitter/receiver for infrared signals. See IrDA and IR remote control.  to a standard computer for collection and analysis.

The device is powered by a rechargeable battery A rechargeable battery, also known as a storage battery, is a group of two or more secondary cells. These batteries can be restored to full charge by the application of electrical energy. .
