University of California, Davis

All Sercon equipment is upgradable, and on a recent visit to the University of California Davis (UC Davis) Stable Isotope Facility, Engineer James Hanson ran two electronics upgrades on some Hydra 20-20 systems, including a software upgrade and a new PC to improve speed performance. The older control boards are removed from the system to join up with the new system controller for readbacks and control.

As the customer site was close to San Francisco, James was able to use his down time on the trip to explore the city for the weekend, taking in Alcatraz and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co as well as driving over the famous bridges.
