PC control from Modfluor32 Windows® software allows real-time trace plotting as a chart-recorder emulation with calculated parameters written to a text parameters window. Instrument features and parameter measurement routines are selected from a toolbar with drop down menus to control file handling and instrument configuration.

Complex experimental protocols may be automated to reduce repetitive work by developing Scripts with Hansatech Scripting Language (HSL). An iconised Script Editor allows a sequence of control functions and measurements to be developed into a protocol. Once created scripts may be executed directly from the Modfluor32 program and data viewed while the instrument automatically completes a user-defined experiment. A maximum of six scripts can be downloaded to the instrument’s internal memory for operation without a computer.

Connection of an optional external battery enables portable operation with data stored to instrument memory for subsequent upload and full graphical presentation on the computer.

A further application is also included with the FMS 1 chlorophyll fluorometer. Parview32 is a stand-alone utility designed to allow easy upload and transfer of multiple parameter files to a spreadsheet type program.
