The above details correspond as far as possible to the recommendations of the NAMUR work-
ing party (NAMUR recommendations for the design of electrical plug connections for analogue
and digital signal transmission on individual items of laboratory control equipment, rev� 1�1)�
The NAMUR commands and the additional specific IKA commands commissioning serve only
as low level commands for communication between the device and the PC� With a suitable ter-
minal or communications program these commands can be transmitted directly to the device�
The IKA software package, Labworldsoft
® , provides a convenient tool for controlling device
and collecting data under MS Windows, and includes graphical entry features, for motor speed
ramps for example�
