November 2, 2008 - Applied Analytics releases ECLIPSE Process 10 online analyzer software with simultaneous multi-method analysis and improved user interface response. By improving control over the detection system, ECLIPSE Process 10 allows for instantaneous user interface response. Furthermore, simultaneous Analysis and Calibration Methods (ACM) can now be configured. An ACM is essentially a method of calculation: a set of data and variables that both calibrate the instrument and determine the parameters of analysis. Using several ACMs simultaneously provides extensive insight into the condition of the process.
The new software also includes diagnostics and reporting routines to continuously evaluate the performance of the system and trigger rapid action if required.Features also include an ACM report generator, automatic light levels adjustment, fault alarm condition setup, software-controlled relay activation from each screen, and several other functions.The ECLIPSE software is an integrated part of AAI's diode array analyzers. ECLIPSE Process controls the spectrometer and the sampling valves, obtains and interprets data from the detector, provides a user interface with which to change parameters, and produces an output signal for the DCS.
The offline program allows the user to build an ACM, load or collect standards, and calibrate the analyzer.Test-drive the new software by downloading the Eclipse Process 10 simulation program.
