1.12 Software tools

The

MASS-VIEW

®

series have a digital interface which can be connected using RS-232 (or RS-485) to a

computer. For a MS-Windows based PC, we have several freeware tools available for download on our
website.



FlowDDE

the FLOW-BUS DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) Server is gathering data

from

the modules

connected to the FLOW-BUS, and at the same time transferring data

to

these modules. DDE

provides the user a basic level of inter process communication between MS-Windows
applications and is therefore, the most flexible way to transfer data. By using DDE commands,
sent by software, to the DDE Server, data can be sent or requested from the FLOW-BUS.
FlowDDE communicates very easily with Microsoft Excel and other applications.



FlowPlot

(needs FlowDDE).

Flow-Plot is a DDE-client program for service-purposes on Bronkhorst® digital instruments or
readout-units. It gives good insight into the dynamic behaviour of digital instruments.



FlowView

(needs FlowDDE).

FlowView is a DDE-client program to operate Bronkhorst® digital instruments.
