“We used OCC’s MICAS on three different systems that have very different needs. Dave was patient and informative during the whole process to make sure we could fix minor issues if they arose. He walked through the set-up process step-by-step to make sure that we had a functioning and efficient software design that captured all of our requirements. We can now rely on our instrumental calibration and preparation processes to run automatically which saves a lot of manpower time!”

“We decided to use MICAS-X for a hardware verification and validation program for an important customer. Using MICAS saved us at least 6 weeks in getting our data acquisition system working, and it performed flawlessly. A few years later, we dusted off MICAS for a custom measurement application, and once again MICAS’s flexibility and reliability saved us countless days and weeks which was key to meeting our schedule. We have terrific support from the MICAS team for questions both large and small. I wholeheartedly recommend this platform/application for data acquisition and automation.”
— Brian Turner, Ph.D. Research Electro-Optics Inc.
“We asked Original Code Consulting to develop a piece of software for data acquisition purposes. We were using this software successfully for years until our needs changed, so we decided to go back to OCC for a new version. The product was ready in a very reasonable time frame. The best, I have to say, has been all of the support provided by OCC in customizing and fine tuning the software to fit all of our needs, these guys are more than willing to give the extra hand that is so much appreciated. Thanks for everything, truly.”

“Lucid Dimensions has worked with Original Code for the last four years. We started from the ground up, building code to replace spaghetti code that had been previously implemented. The differences were drastic in terms of performance and most importantly, modularity. They are good estimators and will be the first to tell you if a project isn’t in their wheelhouse. I strongly recommend Original Code Consulting for any LabVIEW project based on their performance and integrity.”
— Tim R., Lucid Dimensions, Colorado
“Original Code Consulting helped improve our LabVIEW data analysis program so that our thousands of data sets could be analyzed in minutes compared to the hours each took previously. We were especially pleased with how easy and efficient it was to work with OCC. In particular, OCC demonstrated an ability to quickly grasp the scientific principles being address by our experiment.”
— Mark J., University of Colorado School of Medicine
“OCC’s MICAS-X was chosen for a test stand that we built to test gaskets under pressure to their limit. Monitoring this system required some tricky sequencing and safety implementations that were no problem for the software to handle and the team at OCC understood the system within minutes which was a huge help. This team is highly effective and quick working. Would highly suggest contacting them for your needs”
— Ian B., Wheatridge, CO
“We used MICAS-X for a study of indoor air chemistry in an art museum in order to automatically control several values for different sampling modes sequences and log multiple instruments continuously 24/7 for more than a month. Operation was robust with no issues encountered. Dave worked with us on configuring a custom console which met all our needs and was easy for several new MICAS-X users to use and make changes during the study as our needs changed or became clearer. It was especially nice to have MICAS-X solidly handling all the integrated control of sampling and logging basic auxiliary instrumentation without issue, so that we could focus our attention on our other custom, developmental instrumentation - thus reducing a lot of stress that often accompanies intensive field experiments! We expect to reuse the system for several future studies with modifications as needed.”
— Doug, University of Colorado at Boulder
“MICAS-X has been very useful for collecting and co-locating large time series datasets from multiple instruments. It makes data processing substantially easier when trying to compare different pollutants or meteorological conditions, as they are logged in one file with one timestamp.”
— Aja, Carnegie Mellon University
“We use OCC’s MICAS to operate two custom-built scientific smog chambers. It is a highly configured and complex system with hundreds of HVAC, electrical, and instrumental inputs and outputs. MICAS is the brain of the entire system. Now we can use MICAS to set up customized sequences to operate many different components simultaneously, which drastically reduced the time and effort needed to run and maintain the chamber. It would have taken months or years of programming to interface all of our controllers. Dave was attentive to what we needed and OCC’s service is fantastic. Highly recommended.”
— Jordan, University of Colorado at Boulder
“We had an aggressive timeline and were in need of a complex operating system for two parallel process trains. Original Code Consulting was there for us at every turn and the final product (operating and data acquisition system for a pilot membrane plant) exceeded our highest expectations. I could not not recommend anyone any higher.”
— Jon, University of Wyoming
“Dave, thank you. I think the platinum cert program that you, Ted and Greg created has the potential to ‘revolutionize’ the ozone measurement paradigm. Only time will tell but I have the utmost hope and confidence that your efforts have given a ‘leg up’ to the scientific community and En-Sci providing an irrefutable data analysis tool for data integrity.”
— J. Harnetiaux, Westminster, CO
“MICAS-X provides a powerful, extensible LabVIEW framework to control our custom instrumentation. Developing with MICAS-X saved us a huge amount of time and effort and we could never could have produced something as useful ourselves.”
— Prof. M.A. Young
“MICAS-X allowed our lab to consolidate control of several different instruments into one unified, customizable system. Dave and OCC were incredibly responsive along the way and worked closely with us to develop solutions and ensure that MICAS-X ran smoothly with all the functionality that we needed.”
— D. Pagonis, Graduate Researcher
“Original Code Consulting developed a custom DAQ and control system application for running our ultrafiltration-reverse osmosis pilot test system at the University of Wyoming. The application is very user friendly and doesn’t take a lot of time to get familiar with even for someone without a sufficient engineering background. Some of the biggest pros for the software are the ease in adding new sensors, scaling new sensors (if one did replace a failing sensor with a different one), graphical display, calculations, and display of equations calculated on the basis of the data acquired.”
— Satish, Laramie, WY
“We are using MICAS-X for PALMS-NG and I gotta say that I am very happy with MICAS-X. It’s pretty powerful and modular, and once you start to “speak” MICAS-X, it is very easy to implement changes yourself.”
