Collect™ captures instrument data from up to 12 instruments simultaneously, modifies the data for your application and sends it transparently to your application or directly to a file. Any program that allows you to manually enter data can receive data directly from Collect. Your application accepts the data as if it were manually entered from the keyboard.

Collect™ was designed for those who simply want to turn on their computer and begin collecting data. It is extremely easy to use and will save countless hours of tedious data entry.

Direct to any program

Data from virtually any instrument can be collected directly into any program such as Excell, Lotus, Quattro, Access, FoxPro, SigmaPlot end MANY MORE.

Formatting Data

Collect™ uses a very simple technique for selecting only the required information from the instrument data end ignoring the rest. Complex multi-component strings generated by your instrument are easily processed by Collect™. A time stamp, cumulative time and date, in selected formats, can be automatically added to your data.

The resulting data transferred to your application in the order and format required.

Automate your application

Collect™ controls where and how data is added to your application by automatically locating the cursor in the correct position. Collect’s™ keystroke macros can activate menus ans drun macros in your application, to automate the processing of your data.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

  • Eliminate transcription errors
  • Save time and money
  • Increase instrument testing throughput
  • Meet regulatory, ISO 9000 & GPL requirements

Easy to setup

Collect™ is extremely easy to set up. No knowledge of instrument interfacing is required. Collect’s™ simple fill-in-the-blank screens guide you through the setup in a matter of minutes. Anyone can set up Collect™ for data collection.

Built-in Spreadsheet

Collect™ comes complete with its own simple spreadsheet program, which can be used to capture, view and print results. The data can also be saved to a clipboard and added to other programs.

Control Commands

Instrument commands can be used to control your bi-directional RS232 instruments. They can request data at regular timed intervals, calibrate the instrument, start data transfer, etc. Collect™ can add a floating Command Dialog Box to your application, allowing you to control your instrument directly from your application.
