FIAlab
for Windows 5.0 software is specifically designed to control
the FIAlab series instruments. Several years were spent writing and testing
this software to meet the stringent requirements of flow injection analysis.
Customer response tells us these requirements have been more than met,
yet the software remains easy to learn, and versatile enough for use in
fields outside standard FIA and SIA, such as Mass Spectrometry, FT-IR,
Fluorescence Microscopy, Flow Fluorescence, Electrochemistry, and Chemical
Sensor Technology. FIAlab for Windows is also ideal for online
monitoring and process control applications.
FIAlab for Windows Software Demonstration:
Format 1: Flash
Format 2: Exe File
Key features include:
Automatic calibration curve generation, automatic dilution of standards, quality
control samples, periodic calibration curve regeneration. Automatic
compensation for response drift (e.g., caused from degradation of a Cadmium
column over the coarse of a Nitrate run).
Various peak characterization functions such as peak height, and area under
curve, slope.
Powerful 2-D and 3-D data plotting (including: bar, line, scatter, and surface
plots), merging and superposition of response curves generated at different
experimental runs, ready for presentation or transfer into other programs such
as MS Power Point
Automated report
generation and automated emailing capabilities
Reports can be
automatically exported to MS Excel
Handles up to four
FIAlab systems simultaneously, creating up to four independent calibration
curves for multi-channel assays.
Full
compatibility with
FIAlab automated systems
(FIAlab-2500, FIAlab-3000, FIAlab-3500, MicroSIA system), Ocean Optics UV/VIS
and VIS/NIR spectrometers, FIAlab's PMT-FL fluorometer, a large assortment of
brand and model autosamplers, peristaltic pumps, syringe pumps, multiposition
and injection valves, A/D and D/A devices, etc. Please inquire for
specifics.
One of the key features of FIAlab for
Windows is its user friendly script based programming language. This language
consists of a simple BASIC like command structure, with all the available
commands presented in a floating list box. The user simply points and clicks the
desired command, automatically adding the command to the procedure.
The FIAlab user can either write
their own FIA script from scratch, select a prewritten script from the
list of templates, or download a script from the online library, to use
directly, or to modify, as needed.
Below is an example script for
Nitrate/Nitrite measurements on the FIAlab-2500.

FIAlab for Windows 5.0 is
included free with the purchase of each FIAlab system.
Device
Driver for FIAlab Line of Instruments
FIAlab Instruments now offers
Active X control for FIAlab Instruments. Using this control, the programmer
can easily interface with the line of FIAlab instruments from their own
software. This control is compatible with Labview, Visual Basic 5.0/6.0/.net, MSVC++ 5.0/6.0/.net, and
most other products that supports Active X technology.
Just drop the control into your project and send commands as easily as
"SyringeInitialize=true". The FIAlabX Active X control is available free
with the purchase of any of the FIAlab line of instruments (as is our standard
"FIAlab for Windows" software).
Active
X Control Software for Analyses
Our Partners, Newcastle Scientific,
offer an ActiveX based numerical library which includes easy to call functions
for Linear and Non-Linear Least Squares Fitting, Fast Fourier Transforms,
Signal Processing, Kalman Filtering and Numeric Sorting. Each order also
includes a Visual Basic source code example and easy to follow instructions.
