1) New Valve Spring Tester v1.1 C Update Released  We've just released a major update to our popular Valve Spring Tester software, Version 1.1 C.  

Manual USB Spring Tester                 Automatic USB Spring Tester
         

A list of major improvements in v1.1 C include:

• Make reports of spring heights which produce various forces, like at 10 lb increments.
• 4 Test Types to allow for springs with "bent" force curves (like 2 stage springs), or not compressing the spring into coil bind.
• Assign individual Seated Spring Heights for each spring to allow for variations in heads, valves, retainers, etc.
• There is a new Preference setting which will eliminate error messages if the Open or Seated Heights you have entered for a spring are incorrect.  In previous versions the program could ask 10 or more questions about improper settings.  For example, now the program just reports 0 for the Open Height Force if the spring encounters coil bind before the Open Height is reached.
• Many new features to rename, copy, delete, or merge folders (groups of files).
• Files and folders you delete are now sent to the Recycle Bin, so they can be retrieved if you made a mistake.
