The show went for 3 days, October 15th to 17th. And what a busy 3 days they were! I'm not going to suggest ours was the busiest stand in the show, but we certainly didn't have many idle spells.
Our first show was the same event back in 1998 (and was the main story in our very first newsletter). At that time we were relatively new kids on the block as far as offering an off the shelf programmable controller was concerned (we could even then boast of 18 years of making custom OEM controls). This time we had a real track record to boast about, with SPLats in Carrier airconditioners, pallet wrappers and even getting ready for space travel. We had standard SPLats and custom SPLats on display, and formally announced the new SL99.
We kept things interesting with a lunar lander game, baloons (with an associated prize), a demonstration of SCADA using SPLat over radio and a model boomgate to demonstrate how easy FastTrack programming is.
