2-1- Structure of the Software
The software provides access to the options and information required to run the analyser.
Various options are available via pull-down menus at the top of the screen.
Access to the software requires a password. Multiple authorisation levels are managed by the system:
•
Operator and Supervisor levels are for laboratory users while all other levels are reserved for IDS Service
and Support personnel. Access to items in the menu is dependent on user level.
Passwords and authorisation levels can be modified later if required.
The user interface application software is run on an external PC using Microsoft Windows™ (XP or Vista). The
PC is linked to the analyser via an Ethernet cable.
The analyser uses embedded software which interprets instructions from the user interface application
software into actions to be performed by the analyser. It also records the data obtained. This data is then sent
to the user interface application software for final result calculation and storage.
In the event of any interruption in the connection with the user interface, this software configuration allows the
analyser to continue to carry out its workload and store the raw data produced. When the connection is
restored, synchronisation will occur automatically without any data loss or interruption to the analytical
process.
