MyInstrument and Software Components

• Provides all the tools for creating powerful applications
• Can be used to perform spectral identification and matching for many types of spectroscopy data
• Contains tools for creating, managing, and searching spectral databases

PLSplus/IQ Prediction DLL

• A 32-bit windows DLL which can perform complex mathematics and preprocessing for chemometric analyses
• Allows instrument manufacturers to offer the power and benefits of chemometrics in their analyzers

Scientific Arithmetic Library

• Comprehensive library of math routines for processing spectroscopy and chromatography data
• It is inherently aware of such data and of the fact that they are not arrays of dimensionless numbers
• Provides a number of advanced mathematical functions designed specifically for analytical data

Spectral Information Display

• An easy-to-use tool for displaying spectra, chromatograms, annotations, etc.
• Specifically optimized to handle large data sets
• Based upon GRAMS technology for fast, real-time display graphics

SPC I/O Library

• Royalty-free software component for reading and creating files in the Thermo Scientific universal SPC format for analytical data
• The SPC format can handle many types of spectroscopy and chromatography experiments

Benefits for the Scientist

• Easily plugs into GRAMS/AI, Microsoft excel, National Instruments LabView, Visual Basic and many other applications
• A universal scripting interface—little or no code rewrite required when switching to another vendor's instrument for the same method or application
• No longer need to use the instrument vendor's over-featured lab software when rolling out routine analysis applications
• Requires less training and makes the whole system less prone to operator error

Benefits for the Developer

• Develop a single data analysis or automation application that can be delivered to different customers using different vendor's instruments
• Reduces development time, which lowers costs and gets new software products out to more customers faster

Benefits for the Vendor

• Multiply the investment in software development since new instruments are immediately compatible with old applications software and vice versa
• Gain new incremental sales from third parties and customers developing new applications around specific instruments for vertical market applications that are too costly to develop in-house
• Simplify testing and applications validation since instrument control functions are separate from application software and processing code
• Stay competitive quickly develop new software applications around existing hardware when new analysis techniques become popular
