After investigating a little while, it turned out this was simply a misunderstanding as to what the log reset function does. When MiniSort Assistant downloads the logs from the instrument it creates a file on the computer for them. It does this each time the logs are downloaded. When you ask MiniSort Assistant to reset the logs, all it does is remove all the logs from the MiniSort. It does nothing with those already downloaded. You can configure MiniSort Assistant to automatically reset the logs after each download.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Training</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Personal</category><category>Service</category><dc:date>2011-05-05T11:12:55+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-24</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-24</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We have just welcomed Jimmy from Korea and Roland from Holland over for training.

Like the last show we attended, it went well for us as we continue to offer with the MiniSort 3 and AlMax superior light element performance across a range of materials, especially Aluminium. It was also interesting to me how relevant service cost is becoming. This on-going cost is often not factored into the equation when purchasing equipment, but we continue to offer competitive service rates. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>ISRI Show</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Meet Us</category><dc:date>2011-03-29T12:24:03+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-22</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-22</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We will be available to visit on the <a href="http://verichek.net/" rel="self">Verichek</a> booth (8277) at the <a href="http://www.isriconvention.org/index.html" rel="self">ISRI</a> show at the <span style="font:13px Tahoma; ">Los Angeles Convention Centre</span>, 5th to 9th September.

It cannot be installed natively under Mac OSX, as there is not a version for that operating system. However, it is possible to run Windows on an Intel Mac, using a Virtual Machine or using BootCamp. In these circumstances you would not be installing MiniSort Assistant on OSX, but under Windows, and this works fine. In fact we do that regularly here for testing.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>We&#x27;re back</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Personal</category><dc:date>2011-01-07T11:25:15+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-18</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-18</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[A Happy New Year to you.

As it is an historically rare event, we don&rsquo;t seem to cope very well and the country grinds to a halt. At RMG we are set up minimise any disruption caused by the weather. Therefore any support, service, or production remain relatively free of problems. Of course when to comes to actually shipping MiniSorts there will be delays caused by the couriers. This is unfortunately out of our control, and we apologise for any inconvenience.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Glossary</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Web Site</category><dc:date>2010-11-24T15:34:01+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-13</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-13</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, there are several terms that we use that are not really explained.

You might have noticed this if you subscribed to the RSS feed on this page, as it has stopped working. This is simply because we have renamed all the pages to properly show what they do, for example the Support page was encoded in the HTML file page6.htm. It is now on support.htm. Why do this? Well, I wanted to send a customer a link to our support page in an e-mail, and I noticed this would have to be www.RMGTechnology.com\page6. Much better to have www.RMGTechnology.com\Support. We apologise for any inconvenience. To correct the RSS error, just re-subscribe.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Standardization</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Software</category><dc:date>2010-11-12T11:54:28+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-11</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-11</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Before we publish our documentation, we get it proof read by someone who has no knowledge of the industry. This is always a good idea. We know how to use the MiniSort, but a new user will not. The last time the documentation was checked, we had added a section on standardization to support the FAC unit. But what exactly was standardization, as it was not explained in the documentation. To answer that specific question, it is testing the unit against known standards (hence standardisation). If there is a discrepancy, standardisation will allow a user to perform an adjustment so that the unit performs correctly. It is not offered on standard MiniSorts, as they are stable enough to perform the task of general scrap sorting. At some point we will add a glossary to the web site and to the documentation.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>MiniSort Assistant Messaging</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Software</category><dc:date>2010-11-05T08:09:24+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-10</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-10</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[In previous version of MiniSort Assistant there was a system for sending messages direct to RMG Technology without using e-mail. The observant would have noticed that this has now been disabled. Why? Well, the messaging system was using Twitter, so that all at RMG could monitor all messages sent to us and offer the best response possible. However, Twitter has changed its authentication system to OAuth. MiniSort Assistant does not yet support this, and it is quite a bit more complicated. We will either put the effort into getting MiniSort Assistant to work with OAuth, or we will come up with a different system for direct messaging. In the mean time, feel free to contact us at any time at support@rmgtechnology.com, or using the contact page <a href="../Contact/Contact.php" rel="self" title="Contact">here</a>.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Lithium Ferropolymer?</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Hardware</category><dc:date>2010-10-28T09:38:37+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-9</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-9</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The MiniSort 3 uses Lithium Ferrorpolymer batteries. So whats this? Well, most battery powered electronic devices use Lithium ion batteries, in various guises. So why does RMG use these more expensive Lithium Ferrorpolymer batteries? Quite simply, they are safer. The MiniSort is designed for the environment of a scrap yard, where accidents happen. These Ferrorpolymner batteries will not explode when punctured. The best way to describe it is to view two YouTube videos. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f30fBFitkSM&feature=related" rel="self">Lithium Ion</a>. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnzIBSIKcpQ&feature=related" rel="self">Lithium Ferropolymer</a>.

The MiniSort Assistant update link would not be helpful, as this assumes it had already been installed. Therefore, we added a MiniSort Assistant installer for download.

It&rsquo;s a MiniSort 2 and dates back to 2005. It&rsquo;s the first time it&rsquo;s been back to us, and this was because of a component failure. Well then, we were able to fix the component and then switched it on. The unit has obviously had a hard life - the case was badly worn and it had been dropped, heavily, causing the handle to break which had been stuck back together by the user (something we do NOT recommend). However the first test on the unit came in right where it should do.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>RWM Show Thoughts</title><dc:creator>news@rmgtechnology.com</dc:creator><category>Personal</category><dc:date>2010-09-21T10:22:51+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rmgtechnology.com/News/News.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Many thanks to everyone who came along to the stand.
