"We'd love to work with you again. You
all had a solid product and I'm sure you still do."

One of the most unique aspects of selling products
into the oceanographic and military marketplaces is dealing on the
global stage. One morning in October was no exception.
EPC worked on a Letter of Credit for a recorder sale in Korea, revised
an order for thermal paper in Scotland, prepared shipping labels
for a paper order in the US, worked on a technical problem for a
customer in Brazil, devised modifications to recorders in France,
forwarded software protocol on a recorder to Germany, quoted parts
to the Government of Israel and Canada, inquired on a tender in
India, and Invoiced customers in Croatia and Italy. All this
by 9:00 AM!

EPC training on the 1086NT has been put on ice,
literally. Raytheon Polar Services (formerly Antarctic Support
Associates) was due to receive technical site training this month
on all aspects of operation and maintenance of EPC recorders, including
the new 1086NT. Training has been indefinitely suspended because
the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer is stuck in ice somewhere in the Antarctic
Ocean. Pictures of the stunning predicament are available
on the EPC Web Site.
Raytheon Polar Services Company (Englewood, CO)
own and operate three Model 9802 TGRs in seismic and multibeam operations
and two GSP-1086s with side-scan sonar systems. http://www.polar.org

Now available on the EPC Web Site is the most
comprehensive user's guide for any product in the industry.
EPC felt that the most widely used printer in the industry, the
Model 1086 Series, should have an on-line guide to match.
A unique feature under the Operation link is the "Interface
Panel Controls" which allows web users to scroll over an image
of the 1086's Connector Panel to view information about each setting
and connector. Included on the Interactive Guide is information
on:
- Operation
- Maintenance
- Troubleshooting
- Specifications
- Systems Overview
- Drawings
If there is something we left off, we'd like to
know. Contact us with feedback at: tech-support@epclabs.com
Also updated was the EPC FTP Site.

Since the inception of the EPC Monthly Newsletter
in January, 1999, EPC has periodically reviewed trade shows around
the industry. Reviews rate the show in badges with the highest
grade being 10 badges ##########. Among the aspects typically
critiqued are the venue; conference hall and host city, attendance,
hospitality suites, organizers, etc. The segment has always
been a favorite among Monthly readers.
EPC will not be attending the upcoming MTS/IEEE
Oceans 2001 Conference and Exhibition November 5-8, 2001 at the
Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, HI. We would, however,
like to offer our readers with an unfiltered, unbiased, honest assessment
of this conference. If you'd like to throw your two cents
in - we will keep the reviews anonymous if desired. Please
send show reviews on Oceans 2001 to sales@epclabs.com
we will publish feedback in next month's issue.
