Programmable Interfaces

Programmable interfaces, whether proprietary or public, allow the calculation engine to be used by other engineering programs. The interface must include

As an alternative to the Add-In, users can also develop their own Excel Macros to call the programmable interfaces that have been published. 

The API interfaces to SRS provide an object oriented programmers interface into an SRS system. This allows programmers to access the databases in their SRS system from their programs written in C++, Perl, Java or Python. The databases can be queried and information retrieved about the set of entries. The SRS system itself can be interrogated about the databases available and the fields which can be queried within those databases. 

The software for the FES-BPB System is divided into two components. One component is the Clinician s Programmer application, which runs on a laptop computer. The other component is the firmware running on the MCU. The PC with the Clinician s Programmer interfaces with the MCU via a serial... 

To be practical in these analyses, the pyrolyzer must have the ability to heat the sample material over a wide range of temperamres and to operate at lower temperatures without preheating the sample or introducing cold spots. Isothermal interfaces are usually a problem in that if they are hot enough to transfer all the pyrolysis products to the GC, they are probably too hot for the desorption steps, and volatiles will be lost while the sample is inserted into the unit. What is generally needed is a programmable interface or a separate heating zone for the desorption and pyrolysis steps. 

Curie-point pyrolyzers are generally not used in this stepwise fashion, since they are limited to one temperature per sample because of the way heating is controlled. Microfumaces, however, have been designed with a separate desorption zone, so that a sample may be manually lowered into a low-temperature zone for a first run, retrieved, and then lowered into the pyrolysis zone for a second run. Filament pyrolyzers are now available with a low-mass, programmable interface zone along...
