1.1 Purpose of program
«797 VA Computrace Software 1.3.x» is the name of the control
software for the PC-controlled 797 VA Computrace System for
voltammetric analysis. This system consists of the following parts:
1.797.0010 VA Computrace Stand with accessories
6.2151.020 USB Cable
6.6053.030 797 VA Computrace Software 1.3.x
For a detailed description of the hardware components of the 797
VA Computrace System, see the
797 Hardware Manual .
This 797 Software Manual describes the features and operation
procedures of the 797 VA Computrace Software 1.3.x, which com-
prises the clearly arranged user interface with a task bar that can
be clicked for control of the instrument, method development and
the recording and evaluation of the voltammograms.
Depending on the objective, the 797 VA Computrace Software
1.3.x can be used in
two different operating modes :
• The exploratory mode for qualitative analysis is suitable
for practice-oriented voltammetry training at universities, tech-
nical colleges and in plants. It allows the user to apply ten dif-
ferent VA measurement techniques and to compare their re-
sults.
• The determination mode is used for quantitative analy-
sis of inorganic or organic substances. Calibration can be done
via standard addition or calibration curves. Additionally, a mul-
titude of electroplating bath calibration techniques are avail-
able. Signal evaluation and concentration calculation are auto-
matic. On completion of the measurement, a report can be
compiled to suit individual requirements and printed out. The
most important methods for the determination of metals or
other substances can be called up directly. All curves appearing
on the screen, i.e. voltammograms and calibration curves plus
the results can be transferred to other Windows applications
via the Windows Clipboard. Data export in ASCII format is also
possible.
