Haven't deal with this very same case, but being TK and WU, it didn't work for me. Preamps seemed to be compatible and I could say some portion of the SA was read, but if I were able to recover the data from the patient (TK) it was thanks to another TK.

TK is Thailand and WU is China but in my case both are china.

Yes I know, but they're still different factories. I think they're only about 30 miles away from each other, but... does that guarantee they are compatible?
