Instruments

Improved HDRI for HPTLC Visualizer 2

In auto exposure (in enhanced quality mode), the Visualizer 2 will use longer exposure time than before if needed (maximal 60 instead of 10 seconds). Therefore, visionCATS will be able to get more images at different exposure to compose the HDRI image. The resulting image quality is therefore improved.

Attention

Due to the longer exposure time and the increased number of image taken, the total time needed for taking a R 366 HDRI image is quite longer than with visionCATS 2.4, it is now between 2 and 3 minutes.

New concentration unit type choices

New concentration unit types are now available, other than the existing Mass / volume: Volume / volume and Molarity.

See Menu File for more information.

Notifications on analysis progress

Notification can now be sent to the user when a step execution is finished, via email (works with in-house system like Microsoft Exchange, or extern like Google Gmail). The user can then see from his office computer or his cell phone that his analysis has progressed.
