Experience

1984 - Rabbe Kurtén Realtidssystem

A few interesting projects:

• Migration of Testing environment from SunOS 4 to Solaris 2.5
• Participated in a project to develop tools for 3-dimensional modelling and visualization of Rock formations. Systems design and some programming in MicroStation environment.  (MDL-programming).
• A program for personal workload planning and time reporting with interface to SilberPlan project database and an option to export time reports directly to exonomy system.  Implemented on MS-DOS, Vax/VMS, SunOS, HpUX and MS-Windows.
• Software for handling and presentation of data from UT- testing of  Reactor Vessels using 2-dimensional CAD (MicroStation, MDL and Xbase).
• Sotware for planning of testpatterns and evaluation and presentation of testresults in UT-testing of Reactor Vessel Parts with complicated geometries using 3-dimensionell CAD (Microstation, MDL cooperating with extrenal C-programs in Protected Mode DOS, Xbase).
• A library of C-routines for geometrical calculations of sound vector reflection and refraction at mathematically defined survfacew in 3-dimensional space.
• Programs for terminal emulation and control of measurement equipment and collection of measurement data.  (C and Fortran)
