Controlling software

The Master Module (Figure 2, a) controls both the communications in the local network and the communieation between the network and the base station (a Scanner Master Controller or a FORCE Institute PSP-3 or PSP-4 ultrasonic acquisition unit). The communication between the base station and computer (PC with Windows 95 or Unix-workstation) containing the scanner control software runs on a standard ethemet connection. 

A modular scanner system for NDE has been developed. It consists of a selection of individual electronics and motor module components, supported by scanner configuration and control software. The modules are used as standard building blocks for construction of job specific, dedicated scanners as well and general purpose scanners. The use of modular scanner components significantly reduce the work, time and cost not only for the design and manufacture but also for establishing documentation and ensure compliance with the relevant EU-directive requirements. 

Data handling and process control software program for wastewater treatment plants. Requires Apple II. 

System integration involves numerous miscellaneous development activities, such as control software to address system start-up, shut-down and transient operation, and thermal sub-systems to accomplish heat recovei y, heat rejection and water recoveiy within the constraints of weight, size, capital and operating costs, reliability, and so on. Depending on the application, there will be additional key issues automotive applications, for example, demand robustness to vibrations, impact, and cold temperatures, since if the water freezes it will halt fuel cell operation.

To keep control of your SAS programs you should learn about and invest in version control software. There are many commercial and free (RCS or CVS) version control software solutions available that do an excellent job of maintaining the integrity of your SAS programs. You can also integrate your version control software solution into your SAS program editor. 

The upgrade of an existing TIRF setup to TIRF-FLIM is much more serious, both with respect to costs and with respect to investments in software and high-frequency or nanosecond gating detection systems and control software. 

The pressure is measured by means of a hydraulic system, either in one reference vessel of the 16-vessel rotor or simultaneously for all vessels of the 8-vessel rotor. The operational limit is 86 bar, sufficient for synthetic applications. In addition, a pressure rate limit is set to 3.0 bar s 1 by the control software provided. Protection against sudden pressure peaks is provided by metal safety disks incorporated into the vessel caps (safety limits of 70 bar or 120 bar, respectively) and by software regulations, depending on the rotor used and the vessel type. 

Of the elements characteristically present as major components of nonsaline waters, only calcium produced a slight interference. A weak calcium line at approximately 190.73 nm partially overlaps the sulfur fine such that 1000 mg/1 Ca produces an apparent signal of 25 mg/1 sulfate. Correction for this interference is easily achieved by establishing the relationship between calcium concentration and apparent sulfate signal, and inserting this information in the controlling software. The effect of calcium was then automatically subtracted during the measurement of the sample. 

Another feature of the control software should be the ability not to download the method at the beginning of every run unless the method changes. Each time the control software downloads method parameters, typically 2 to 5 sec are consumed in a situation where every second counts. The more complex the instrument is (second pump, switching valves, additional detectors), the longer the initialization phase will be before a run starts.

Note As is often the case, the HPLC system will be under computer control, which is likely to be part of a data-handling system. Since the data generated from the OQ hardware tests typically require chromatographic data handling, the data-handling software should be validated beforehand. The data-handlingfLC control software installation and IQ/OQ implementation, which are not addressed in this chapter, may take a considerable amount of time. This is often the case since this process typically involves an initial client/server implementation. 

The LC control software, either stand-alone or as part of an overall data-handling system, should be tested by means of a separate OQ protocol. This protocol only needs to address the communica-tions/control integrity of the hardware (e.g., setting up a run/sequence with the proper instrument parameters, the ability to start and stop the pump, etc.). It should cover all the required instrument control functions listed as part of the protocol s functional specifications. It does not need to include specific hardware performance testing, such as linearity or flow rate. The latter tests are performed separately, as part of the individual hardware validation described below. 

On some detectors, a holmium oxide filter or special holmium oxide cell is integrated into the detector these can then be moved into the optical path during calibration mode. The detector itself or associated control software may then be able to check for wavelength accuracy. Note If the filter or cell is made of glass, and not quartz, 241 nm may not be used. 

All reaction parameters including volume rates of the hydrogen, organic and aqueous phase as well as the partial pressure of hydrogen and the reaction temperature are recorded on a PC and can be controlled by process control software, which was developed in the working group.

However, a fast and simple mono-exponential on-line evaluation procedure included in the control software of an EEC relaxometer is not only possible but, in reality, is a must since it provides the operator with relaxation-rate data estimates essential for correct setting of acquisition parameters. The fact that the mono-exponential hypothesis may be inaccurate does not really change the fact that some kind of a preliminary estimate is essential for correct data acquisition.
