Software is designed to integrate serial output instruments directly to Excel, eliminating data entry and errors and significantly improving sample and test throughput
Labtronics announces the release of BalanceTalk XL version 5.1. The BalanceTalk XL software is designed to integrate serial output such as RS232 and TCP/IP capable instruments/devices directly with the Microsoft Excel application eliminating data entry and errors, significantly improving sample and test throughput.
It contains a library of pre-configured interfaces supporting over 400 instrument models including balances, pH/ISE/conductivity meters, density meters, force/stress gauges, spectrophotometers and more for simplified setup.
Fully supporting Windows NT v4.0, 2000 and XP Professional operating systems with either Microsoft Excel 97, 2000, XP or 2003 installed, BalanceTalk XL is said to be the ideal solution to connect any serial instrument or device directly with Microsoft Excel.
With an interface not relying on the cursor, the software supports numerous interfaces to a single computer and same Excel file simultaneously, while allowing users to work in other programs while data collection is active.
The BalanceTalk XL software has been enhanced to meet a number of application and instrument specific requirements such as a new time and date stamp macro, place data feature, filter and discard data to handle erroneous instrument outputs.
Timed interval applications now also have the ability to specify the exact number of data points to be collected.
