The video image, along with the temperature and pressure data, is displayed on the PC monitor and may be archived directly to the hard drive.
In addition, the current date and time are recorded and the user has the ability to enter a short text comment.
To capture the video signal, the package includes a PXI (frame grabber ) card which needs to be installed into the user's PC running Windows 2000, NT, XP, or Me.
The software is based on LabView.
All cables and connectors required to complete the installation are provided.
The user is responsible for providing a suitable PC computer with Windows OS.
Phase Monitor II provides direct, visual observation of materials under conditions which may be controlled precisely by the researcher.
Experiments may be performed in liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide or in other compressed gases.
Additionally, the effect of co-solvents on the solubility of compounds of interest in supercritical carbon dioxide can be investigated with this instrument.
It allows the end user to view the dissolution, precipitation and crystallisation of compounds over a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
Experiments can be done from a few hundred psi to 10,000psi and from ambient temperature to 150C.
