An extensive range of new charting capabilities has been added to the Matrix Gemini Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) from Autoscribe Informatics.
A comprehensive range of generic charts has been added to help with reporting and QC, together with enhancements to SPC (Statistical Process Control), Gantt and DB Gantt chart control.
The new comprehensive charting function provides a wide choice of chart displays including line, bar, area, pie, funnel, doughnut, radar, bubble, stock, histogram and XY scatter charts.
Two sets of X, Y values can be independently configured and displayed on each chart. Charts may linearly scaled over the data range displayed or manually adjusted to use a user-defined scale.
3D charts can also be created for most chart types and their display orientation adjusted with respect to inclination, perspective and rotation for optimum presentation.
“Easy graphical representation of data enables managers to quickly understand trends and home-in on outlier data for further analysis. Further improving our graphical reporting capabilities puts Matrix Gemini LIMS well ahead of the competition”, said John Boother, director, Autoscribe Informatics.
SPC chart control has also been added to the web version of Matrix Gemini’s dual web/Windows user interface.
Once added to any screen using the screen editor, the SPC chart control is immediately available for display using both the web and Windows desktop versions. This allows remote set up of Trend, Histograms, R-Charts and X-Charts for monitoring the processes involved in manufacturing and product development.
To further facilitate project management within the LIMS, a DB Gantt chart control has been introduced, allowing a Gantt chart to display the data supplied from a SQL database.
In addition, the existing Gantt and new DB Gantt chart controls have new properties to enhance the chart displays.
