Hi All, older software will work with Win7 32 bit or older. Will not work
with 64 bit operating system.
I have similar issues with my older eme tracking programs.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is written in Visual Basic

The installer is very basic and I think a bit counter-intuitive.
1. Extract the files from the downloaded .zip file
2. Run "Setup.exe". The first window will be "Welcome to the Tetrode
installation program", click OK.
3. Next window is "begin teh installation by clicking the button
below"...which is the button with the picture of the computer and a box
of software (told you it was old). Often on this window I get confused
because the only command-button-looking items are "Exit" and "change
directory", there's no "GO" or "install" button.
4. next screen asks for what Program Group you want to put the shortcut
into.
5. then you're done.
When you start the program, the first thing to do is OPEN a file...which
is the digitized constant-current curves of the tetrode you are
interested in. I have supplied several in the download. Once you
choose one, the Screen Bias entry will be populated...that's the
reference Eg2 for the curves. You then enter the Grid Bias, Anode Bias,
and the peak RF-cycle points (Max Grid Volts and Min Anode Volts), and
click "Calculate". All the information you would have gotten from the
Eimac EB-5 will populate. Note in the upper right corner of the working
screen is information on the limits of the digitized data. If you
exceed the limits the program is extrapolating rather than interpolating
and you're on your own.
As to the "Charts" button...it doesn't do anything. Sorry. The charts
I made for the 4CX1000A study I did in Excel.
I hope this little bit helps. I just downloaded it and installed it in
an XP window on my Win7 machine with no problems.
