        Dear Mika,
        I am using Partec devices for years and I am quite happy with them.
At present I have Partec CCA which is much simpler than PAS, but I have seen
demonstration of new PAS III and I found it very good (beside being
relatively cheap, as you noticed). Of course it depends what you want to use
it for. I think the best you can do is to contact Prof. Gohde or Dr. Ost
(phone +49 2534 8008 0, fax +49 2534 8008 90) and they will answer all your
questions. The company is always open and helpful in resolving their
clients' problems.
