It is to be noticed that the system used (proprietary) insure the same comfort of operation in remote control as in local. Your complete set of chambers is easily controlled from one or more PC used as supervisors. Full laboratory overview, use of equipments, alarms monitoring in various locations are among the new possibilities which are available to you. Process files created by Spirale 2 recorder, up to 128 channels, 32 logical, up to 2Go. Possibility to analyze, visualize data files of up to 2Go, move along the curves, expand, zoom and resume initial display. Computes rate of change, on part of curve, simulates speed trend Easy to use functions from the double key mouse. Comments on curves, add information on event, make reports with your company letter head Print test reports with color graphics, transfer to spread sheet processor, save and manage your test files. The speed of this software is impressive, even the largest set of data are accessible in a fraction of a second due to the advanced techniques used for data storing and retrieving. The display performance generates perfect screen scrolling. Everything reacts to the mouse, curves displacement and positioning are most simple. Stick comments where you want to document your test. Print portions of your test, export test data to your preferred spread sheet software, dispatch your curves in various views (graphic representation) as per nature of their content. Use tools such as scanners, zoom, intervals measuring scales and so on If you move the cursor on a curve, a balloon display its name and the measure at this point Point a cursor on a curve, its name and coordinates in Engineering Unit appears in a balloon.analysis tool boxes in accordance with PR-NFX standard, permit computation of rate, homogeneity, gradient, peak and average.

9 Manage your test files... Through your Network! Spirale 2 includes a genius file organizer you can not do without anymore. Its purpose is to manage the test file storage, then retrieve, consult, analyze and edit your test report. Organize, retrieve your test files stored as a function of multiple criteria and move, copy, compress (zip) Print a fully labeled test report, create your report overhead, personalize it with your company logo.

10 Spirale 2... WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHAMBERS? Evolutions : Spirale 2 is a Hardware and Software controller. This state of the art system includes pressure gauges on the refrigerating units and current transducer on the compressors motors. Consequently Spirale 2 ensures the total safety of the most sensitive components, optimizes the efficiency of the machinery and reduces the energy consumption. In addition, Spirale 2 controls the refrigerant volume, averts breakdown accurrence of your equipment and saves the environment. Spirale 2 control logic is written in "Script" language which can be modified directly on the chamber without the help of a software engineer or an additional "utility tool". Therefore, dedicated optimizations, specification upgrades can be implemented in best conditions. The regulation process is self adaptive, that ensures the best efficiency of the machinery in all and any circumstances. Newly developed temperature measuring circuitry with built-in compensation, (resolution of 0,01 C) warrants optimum accuracy.
