Hardware support:

From our experience, which is based on thousands of boards in the field, in most cases when customer believes that he is facing a hardware problem – nothing was found wrong with the board after we got it back for repair. In some cases boards came back with no calibration, or with comments like "board not function" and after we run all tests the board found to be 100% OK.
Each one of our products is being tested for 72 hours prior shipping it to a customer so, we are confident about the quality and reliability of our products.
We do ask our customers to read the user's manual and to check the boards on a different PC before shipping them back for repair. We also shall be glad to support our customers with all advices that may help them to define if there is a real problem with the board and it needs to be shipped back for repair.

Weigh Trucks / Trains in motion
Now you can get the LCIC-WIM board with embedded software to weigh trucks & trains in motion for slow and high speed WIM.

The main screen of our WIM application for trucks:

---

LCIC-WIM as a stand alone Loss-In-Weight rate controller
The LCIC-WIM with the embedded Loss-In-Weight algorithm was designed to function as a Universal Loss-In-Weight controller.

---

LCIC-WIM in Fill Mode
LCIC-WIM in Fill Mode The LCIC-WIM comes equipped with sophisticated embedded software to handle batching functions like bag/sack filler. Taking advantage of the ultra fast sampling rate, high accuracy A/D and the powerful processor on the board, it can handle most net-weight applications and especially when fast filling is needed.

---

LCIC-WIM as a universal in-motion Checkweigher controller
The LCIC-WIM with the embedded Checkweigher application, was designed to function as a Universal High-speed In-Motion Checkweigher controller.

---

LCIC-WIM monitoring package
The LCIC-WIM Monitor utility is a vital tool for analyzing dynamic load/force systems. It takes full advantage of the board's speed and samples the load cell signal at maximum samples per second, sending the data to the PC via the USB port and displaying it as a curve - load cell signal/ versus time. Customer than able to zoom, keep the data in a standard file for later use and even running some calculations like averaging on a required part of the curve.
