I'm actually trying to simulate a device we make at work. I work at a small company and their stuff is old as hell. Lol! The company has been around for 40 or so years so, a lot of the devices were designed with really old components and..., they've never been updated. In my department specifically, we still used DOS programs up until our testing rig died about two years ago. Lol! Every so often something goes obsolete and the department head has to scramble to find a replacement. Unfortunately, most of our stuff has to meet government standards so, changing one component to another is a real PITA and, time consuming. Worse still, they fired their last engineer here about two years ago so, no one actually knows how any of our products really work at the deepest component level. Don't know how the company is staying afloat. In any case, I am trying to up my game some to eventually ask for more money. :) We're mostly in production mode all the time but, quite often we also have to troubleshoot and fix stuff. Most are easy fixes but, this one device has been a mystery to us all. Not completely but, enough where we just don't know what to make of certain anomalies when they pop up. Either way, if I could simulate this device, I think it'll really help me understand some things better.
