[labnetwork] Looking for vendor service- Veeco/Dektak 150

[Massey, Travis]

Hi Jeff,

We've had communication issues twice before with our Dektak 150.  Both times it was a failure of this $80-90 converter:

Bruker will offer to sell you the exact same item for $400-$500.

If it were me, I'd try replacing that before going down the service route.

Best,

My recently refurbished stylus profilometer is having communication issues. Might anyone have a recommendation for a company that can service these systems?

Thanks!!!!

Jeff
