MeasureNet popular in small academic laboratories
Size doesn't always matter when considering an investment in networked electronic data acquisition with MeasureNet, says the company
Under the lead of instructor Michael Clay, the CHEMISTRY DEPArtment put MeasureNet to work within two weeks of its arrival.
Using experiments adapted and devised during Clay's spring 2006 sabbatical at Arizona State University, the department is currently on track to employ its two networks in some 31 experiments during its two-semester general chemistry sequence.
This marks an unprecedented level of MeasureNet utilisation by a user in the MeasureNet academic community.
Aside from normal probeware (temperature, pressure, pH, drop counters voltage, and multi-function colorimeters), numerous experiments utilize MeasureNet's manual entry feature to organise non-MeasureNet data into spreadsheet format.
Students are also set up to conveniently access an entire lab's data via the department's local area network, while instructors then have student data sets from each period 'swept' into a single spreadsheet for easier viewing and analysis.
"Because of its network design," according to Clay, "MeasureNet is ideally suited for use as a data centre, enabling the direct entry of student data acquired from attached probeware, as well as convenient manual entry.
"Students then have their own and others' data aggregated conveniently for analysis using spreadsheets.
"No other interface enables this so seamlessly as MeasureNet".
Clay's individual experiments will be available to MeasureNet users in early 2007.
