Today, we have designed the last printed circuit board (PCB) for the next SPA-LEED power supply. Formerly 1800 airwires are now nicely routed. #spaleed #betterleed
While lines of code (LoC) is a good measure for the size/complexity of a software, it is not easy to use it for productivity estimates ( https://successfulsoftware.net/2017/02/10/how-much-code-can-a-coder-code/ ).
An average programmer writes between 10 and 50 lines of code per day, depending on project size and application.
Thus, WinSPA contains by now at least 1000 person days ~ 4 person years of work.

The source code of our SPA-LEED control software WinSPA has exceeded 50.000 lines of code.
This is approximately 5x the size of the first Linux V0.01, and about 20% larger than the Space Shuttle Control software,

We are happy to announce the release of version 2.2 of our SPA-LEED control software WinSPA.
New features are listed under http://winspa.de/about.html
#WINSPA #SPALEED
Release V2.2 of WinSPA is being finalized.
One of the new features is an analog control of the sample heating, in order to perform well defined AHDSR heat cycles. #WINSPA #SPALEED
