- noobermin 5y agoNow, as someone with experience with labview that is a horrifying thought...
- hilbert42 5y agoI'd absolutely agree, it's truly worrying. I say that as someone who has worked in nuclear safeguards.
- RandomWorker 5y agoAgreed, we ran a small nuclear system 2KW. All the equipment was experimental. I can see the issues with Lavbiew on PCs plus hardware sucks, but there dedicated systems are actually really good and stable.
- hilbert42 5y agoYeah, right. As you'd know, the size of your system is immaterial when it comes to this stuff, the basic rules are essentially the same in that they all come under the treaty (it's highly unlikely your country isn't a signatory-there being very few that aren't). In essence, that means the simplest approach is to use dedicated and or standardized systems (i.e.: in measurement/accounting) wherever possible then there's little or no argument when the inspectorate arrives. (From my comment you'll know my background.)
