Data Handling
Printer Friendly
The widespread use of personal computers for archiving data and networking demands a flexible data handling scheme. With DUŽ Series 600 and 7000 Spectrophotometers, various options are available to simplify and automate storage, retrieval and transmission of data.

Virtual Disk Expansion

The Virtual Disk Expansion accessory (P/N 514252) expands the internal memory (virtual drive A) of the instrument. This battery-backed RAM allows for the storage of up to 1 MB for methods, data and results.

External Storage Device

The optional External Storage Device (P/N 514244), or drive B, stores information on 3.5-inch diskettes and allows the user to transfer files to a computer via disk. Methods and data are easily retrieved from the External Storage Device into the instrument with a click of the mouse.

The File Utility mode in DU Series 600 and 7000 Spectrophotometers includes copy, move, rename and delete functions. File conversion to ASCII and Lotus* 1-2-3 format can be performed on either the A or the B drive.

This option is recommended when mass storage and sharing of data with other DU Series 600 and 7000 instruments is required. Multiple file transfers between diskettes and the spectrophotometer are easily made with this option.

DU WinConnection Suite

The DU WinConnection Suite is a 32-bit a Microsoft* Windows* application package that allows the user to transfer files from the spectrophotometer via the serial interface (RS-232) to the local drive of a computer or to a network drive.

The File Utility Software included in the software suite can be installed on multiple individual computers allowing individual users to review and print data residing on the network as well converting file to specified formats.

Bar Code Reader

The Bar Code Reader (P/N 514243) allows positive sample identification from standard bar codes to be read into the spectrophotometer. Requires Accessory Option Board (P/N 517036; DU Series 600 only) and Keyboard (P/N 514666).
