The Data Capture Utility for ADAM Balances & Scales
Adam DU (Data Utility) is an application that allows you to quickly and easily capture data from an Adam Laboratory Balance or Weighing Scale and perform various functions on the collected readings.
How Adam DU can help you
Adam DU can be used to perform various tasks, such as placing collected data into graphs, performing basic mathematical statistical analysis, and exporting readings to several common file formats. The software can quickly export data to other applications (e.g. MS Excel, MS Word or the Windows Clipboard) and provides basic remote control of a balance/scale*.
Adam DU can collect data from up to 8 different balances/scales simultaneously, each data collection session can be individually monitored, configured and customised to suit your requirements.
Features
Adam DU can now speak the readings received, allowing greater accessibility for visually impaired users or if you want to stay informed of a scale's progress whilst completing other tasks.
- Quick and easy to use interface, supports capturing data simultaneously over a serial communication port(s) from up to 8 balances/scales.
- Main Commander Window to manage and overview all data capture sessions.
- Graph readings in real-time.
- Perform statistical analysis on readings (Min, Max, Median, Mean, Variance, Standard Deviation) in real-time.
- Export captured readings to several file formats (Text, CSV, HTML, XML).
- Export captured readings quickly to other applications (such as MS Excel,MS word, etc.)*.
- Export captured readings to the Windows® Clipboard for quick importing into other Windows® applications.
- Capture custom data along with the scales data readings - supports up to 6 additional user defined data fields that can be input manually by a user.
- Interact with the connected Balance/Scale - send remote commands to control certain aspects of the balance/scale (certain commands are only applicable to specific models). Ideal for situations where you may only have remote access to a scale/balance.
- Log calibration reports to file for complete tracking of calibration records.
- Log form output (custom defined multiple line data from a balance) to a file.
- Continuously log readings to a file in real-time.
- Print raw readings and the graphed readings.
- Collect date and time with readings, where supported collect the Scale/Balances serial number for unique identification of data readings/balance.
- Quickly search for readings - a specific reading(s), max or min reading.
- You can download the user manual for a more detailed description of the Adam DU functionality.
- Collect Density Determination readings when used with an appropriate balance and Density Determination Kit.
- Collect unit weight, piece count, unit price and total price from counting and retail scales.
- Capture Tare weight, Net weight and Total/Gross weight from any scale used for production line applications.
- Speak all readings received from a balance/scale using the Microsoft® Speech Synthesizer engine (Windows XP and later).
