Daan, Haven't used anything other than KIC for the last 10+ years, and can't think of any reason to change. Have looked at the others, still find that KIC has the most capable software on the market. The hardware has become somewhat generic between manufacturers, I feel that it is the software that sets them apart. KIC has consistently been the innovator in software, with others playing copycat....

The goal is of course to achieve optimal oven-profiles on a wide variety of thermally demanding products with minimal efforts. I'm looking for some input about the strong and weaker points of the systems that are currently on the market, like ECD, KIC and Datapaq. Anyone willing to share their experiences ?
