Software Capabilities

The software is designed to simplify the tasks of both the students and faculty, by eliminating repetitive tasks, providing instruction on the investigation and the theory, and providing a record of the results. It allows the student to complete the investigation and process the results in a standard laboratory session, giving the time to repeat any necessary measurements and analysis.

Software features include:
> Presentation screens outlining the investigations, the theory and the equipment
> Detailed help texts describing how to use the software, set up the equipment, perform the investigation and the associated theory
> Real time schematic representations of the equipment and sensor measurements
> Data logging, with full control over sample rates
> Fully flexible graph plotting
> Student Questions

Technical Description

The system uses the Armfield IFD6 Interface Device which digitises the analogue inputs and transfers the data to the computer. This allows the temperature or conductivity measurements, together with an indication of the pump rates set on the chemical reactors service units to be logged on a PC. The package comprises the hardware and appropriate software for the reactors.

The interface to the PC is via USB, requiring no additional hardware in the PC. Therefore any PC including laptop and notebook versions may be used.

The software is provided on CD-ROM.

Essential Additional Equipment
