ring in conjunction with the GerLab® user program.
2.
Connection of PC for controlling and monitoring in conjunction
with a customerised terminal program, i.e., Telix (MS-DOS),
Terminal (for Windows). With the assistance of the interface a
program, based on the customers’ needs, can be written, too.
3.
