The entire time I've been dealing with CAEN, they've told me that I have all the proper software to get my TDC working.
Until today.
I got an email from someone I've been corresponding with only to find out that I don't have the up-to-date version of the software. This isn't because I accidently downloaded the wrong version, at the time of writing this, there was only one version available for download. Now, I have V1.01 of some software I got via a special URL whereas if you're going to their website you can only get V1.00 which doesn't have all the libraries you need to get the (supposedly) supported VME cards to work. How the hell is anyone supposed to figure out that the company supplied software, which advertises its module compatibility, <i>isn't compatible</i>. Excuuuuuuse me, CAEN for not having the magic space brain (Zero Punctuation, anyone?) required to figure out that the driver installation process requires a month of back and forth emailing with various employees.
All that said, even having the updated software doesn't get the damn TDC to work.
Almost quitting time. In 15 minutes if my supervisor isn't ready he's going to release me.
