Labtronics Inc, Guelph, Ontario, has released an update for Collect 6.1, a software solution for interfacing and controlling instruments and devices via RS232 or TCP/IP.

The software connects with interface ports such as RS232, parses (extracts) only the required results from raw data streams and reports the values directly into Excel®, Files, and Windows® applications. It automates the use of balances, scales, pH, DO, density meters, spectrophotometers, force gages, and other serial output-capable instruments.

The product features a user-friendly set up and program that helps eliminate the need to manually enter results and automatically adds meta-data such as time, date, and user details to the output, as required.

Software updates incorporate Windows® security, allowing administrators to assign separate access levels to different users.

For more information, users should e-mail the company or call (519) 767-1061.
