Control Pad - key features

The interface looks great, it's easy to understand and it's simple to use.MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK

Add 3rd party devices
• Select and name devices
• Set device parameters and safety limits
• Link devices for dual control e.g. pump and balance for gravimetric additions
Control up to 4 different experiments in parallel
Enhanced safety for unattended operation 24/7
• Set individual device warning alarms
• Set emergency safe conditions or reaction shutdown if a sensor limit is exceeded
• Create safety feedback loops e.g. control a pump addition by process temperature
• Set user-definable limits or parameters for all devices
'Track and Repeat'
• Track what you do, as you do it and record all actions
• Repeat and refine the schedule to optimise the experiment
• This clever feature enables automation of a manual process with ease and without any programming knowledge
Create reports and share data
• Automatically logs and saves all data
• The report wizard creates detailed reports in rich text format (for word processing) or CSV (for spreadsheets)
• Share experiments and results with other Mya software users
Graph data and modify experiments on-the-fly
• View real-time graphs
• Stop, pause or skip steps and modify experiments mid-run
• Add or remove steps as the timeline progresses
• Add notes in the Event log
Select Direct or Schedule control
• Control devices directly via the apparatus window or
• Use the Schedule Window to create experiment profiles e.g. create ramps, plateaus and timed actions
