  2. Auto-start multiple Monitor Sessions  

Electronic scales, including the Ohaus Adventure Pro Balancetm with RS-232 communications is now supported for use in LabSpeed Special interactive Views in order to import the sample weight and weight units into the solution.  Although previous versions of LabSpeed could auto-start a Monitor Session, version 5.6 allows multiple Monitor Sessions to automatically start when LabSpeed is run .

  2. Subset Elements / Element Order support for Add-Ins

File Monitor Mode extends LabSpeed's ability to monitor not just database changes, but also individual data files exported or saved by the instrument software, and to perform auto-print and auto-export and real-time data verification actions.  LabSpeed 5.5 also provides Add-in support to allow the user to choose a subset of elements and to report / export them in a specific order.

  3. Enhanced Network Repository support for sharing LabSpeed templates and files
The MatWeb database contains the compositions of 5000+ alloys and is is closely integrated with the LabSpeed Grade Library.  The MatWeb database is easily searched using wildcards and up to 300 grades may be tranferred directly to the grade libary.  Both the grade library and the MatWeb database may be used to determine grade matches using unknown instrument results.  If the PC has internet access, all physical properties for selected alloys may be viewed.
 
LabSpeed 5.2

  1. Support for VISTAtm,  including the newer 64-bit Operating Systems
  2. Support for Plug-in Auxiliary Features
  3. Grade Library and Alloy Identication support

The Plug-in Auxiliary Features is an architecture change that can extend the capability of LabSpeed by installing new features the same way Add-Ins are used to provide support for a new instrument database or data file type.

The first new extension feature to LabSpeed is Alloy Grade Identification support.  This includes a full Grade Library editor with Alloy Search, an interactive and an automatic Alloy Identification window for finding best matching grades for selected samples, and ability to use specific grades in the Grade Library for limit checking.  The highest quality matches may be added to the sample information so they can be reported and/or exported with the sample.
