SIA-Control - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

A collection of ruby objects which can be used to control FIA, SIA and MSFIA components and analysers. While other programmes with the same aim limit the users control over most devices, the objects provided here do not limit the access.

This is especially advantageous for fast applications, where all properties (e.g. the free configurable speed ramps of the CAVRO syringepump) must be used. It is also quite easy to include more and 'unusal' devices like a temperature controlled bath (Haake DC 50) with RS232 interface which was used to optimize the temperature of a reaction loop.

The main DRAWBACK is the (graphical) user interface. There is none :-) Actually it didn'n make any sense to create a user interface, because SIA methods (which are the main purpose of this project) are programmed so any programme editor does the same job.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have questions about SIA, FIA and MSFIA or programmes and devices related to these techniques. A variation of this set of objects (written by me in python, but not my intelectual property) is used to determine ammonia and phosphate in coastal waters:
