Gas Chromatograph System Software

The Advance Maxum gas chromatograph system uses industry-standard software. Its operating system supports Ethernet TCP/IP for open communications, provides database and calculation support for system power, and recognizes all hardware for "plug and play" setup. A real-time relational database operates on-line for direct data access, provides an open architecture for custom configurations, and uses standard query tools. The Advance EZChrom software provides automatic method set up and component peak identification, chooses the best peak gating and basing methods, re-processes captured chromatograms with different methods, identifies and measures unknown component peaks automatically, and supports simultaneous, multiple detector measurements. The system can be programmed using industry-standard BASIC.
