Why FilmStar MEASURE/Scantraq?
Automation - your key to higher reliablity and lower costs

     Please turn on your speakers.  

Notes on this video:

• Automation is not limited to barcode readers and Excel. These were just handy examples.

• The barcode reader is a small ActiveX EXE that communicates with FilmStar MEASURE via COM. COM is also how FilmStar MEASURE (Scantraq when marketed to chemists) communicates with Excel. The video does not attempt to explain details. Please contact us if you are interested in a more complete explanation.

• FilmStar MEASURE supports numerous instruments, some directly via serial or GPIB commands and some through libraries supplied and installed by PerkinElmer and other instrument manufacturers. In the case of the Spectrum 100 or Frontier FTIR, PE Spectrum must be installed on the computer.

• Examples:

  • Optical properties as a function of temperature

  • Absolute Reflectance/Transmittance Analyzer

  • Marine oil analysis (play the YouTube video and look for the Lambda 850)
