Fully functional hardware interface and software (performs flow gain and limited pressure gain tests) with some minor formatting and graphing bugs was delivered to Boeing by the end of August. The equipments were reassembled at Boeing and an engineer took over to continue the project. The group, with available students during the summer months, faculty advisor, liaison engineers, and the Boeing engineer taking over the project, had a lunch gathering in September at Gordito's Healthy Mexican Food in Seattle, celebrating the project's conclusion.
