KIC, the leader of thermal process development and control products, and winner of multiple industry awards, announces an opportunity to win an Apple iPad2 by beating its award-winning Auto-Prediction Navigator Profiling Software. All participants will receive a certificate for a free KIC Navigator or Auto-Focus Power upgrade, a $975 value*!
The competition has received excellent reviews from new and current KIC customers, and consists of three real-life challenges. Each of the three challenges represents an actual PCB and, in each challenge, the KIC Navigator finds an in-spec solution in less than 15 seconds. Can you do that? Furthermore, each solution was re-profiled to the suggested changes to show KIC Navigator’s high rate of accuracy.
Participants must submit all KIC2000 profiling solutions for all three challenges by Friday, September 9, 2011 to Brian O’Leary at boleary@kicmail.com. The game will continue in distributor Mectronics Marketing Services’ Booth #1230 at the upcoming Electronica International Trade Fair, scheduled to take place September 13-16, 2011 in Pragmati Maidan New Delhi, India.
