Everyone has had the experience of buying an electronics product which is now obsolete or the company has gone out of business. What can you do when this happens? Well if you have a Cam Doctor cam measuring system (cam profiler) you do have an option. There is a company that can retro fit your system with new components to bring it back to life.

Sometimes you have a system that has been working for 10 to 20 years. Then one day it is no longer working. Or with the Cam Dr, which only works on old DOS computers, you can no longer find one of these old DOS computers. The last thing you want to do is throw it out and buy a new cam profiler. You can save yourself thousands of dollars if you use some of the old parts and just buy some new items that will get it up and running again.

A Cam Dr Retrofit Kit would include some electronics to read your existing lift and rotation sensors, and new Windows software to read these sensors. The electronics typically can be read with a serial port (com port), or through a USB port with a USB-Com adapter. So you can now use most any new Windows computer, even a laptop. And with the updated software, you get an easier mouse driven interface, with many more analysis features, and printouts of graphs and reports on most any new printer, even color. That is one HUGE improvement over being tied to some old DOS computer.
