Labtronics device integration group introduces Collect version 6.0 data acquisition and integration control software for Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional or the new Windows Vista Ultimate

The software includes an library of interfaces to support over 500 different instrument and device models and over 20 ready to use methods for weighing applications, electrochemistry, photometry, environmental monitoring, barcode and label sheet creation, point of care instrument interfaces and more.

New methods and instrument interfaces can also be easily created using existing, already in use templates.

From a single instrument or device connection to simultaneous multi-instrument interfaces that multi-task with automated decision-making, the Collect software enables its users to significantly improve their automation capabilities.

"I'm very excited about the new Collect program and the new automation capabilities it gives our customers", says Mike DeWitte, vice president of sales and marketing for the device integration group.

"The software was developed based upon our many years of experience developing software for interfacing serial instruments and devices of all types, solving hundreds of unique customer application requirements in the laboratory and production environments.

"The new Collect combines a compilation of old and new interfacing techniques and adds a whole new level of power and flexibility for our customers".

Collect is intended for companies that want to provide more automation to existing applications or replace antiquated, inflexible software with an off-the-shelf program that is very affordable and can be easily tailored to their specific business application needs.

Collect version 6.0 also adds many new features to simplify the automation of existing applications and flexibility to meet any unique requirement for RS232 Serial or TCP/IP interfacing all in one easy to use program.
