No Ordinary Day  

The work week had just begun and I could already tell it was going to be a long day. Sounds familiar, right? It was one of those days where you know you’ll never come close to finishing all of the things you need to do. On top of it all, there was this program to write and upload to the new gas detection central controller that we had purchased a few days before. Deployment was scheduled for the end of the week. It was an Oldham MX43. The central controller was quite nice and very powerful: up to 32 analogue and digital sensors; 32 relay outputs or 4-20 mA integrated or remote outputs on digital modules, 32 logic inputs, bus cabling with direct connection to modules or point-to-point configuration.
