Data Handling for Sherwood Scientific Products

Serial Printers

Sherwood Scientific has designed its products with RS232 outputs, which allow the data to be captured by serial printers.

The baud rates for the products are shown.

Sherwood supplies a conveniently small printer, rechargeable-battery powered which will work with all products.

Computer Operation

"Hyperterminal" Mode: where a printer option is shown in the table it is also possible for the data to be transferred to a computer with a serial input and with the Hyperterminal mode active (This is available in Windows/accessories/communications/hyperterminal). This will show on the computer exactly what is on the printer. It is possible to manipulate the data manually by copy and pasting it into e.g. Excel.

NEW For the Model 420 and Model 425 Flame Photometers we now have an Excel Macro, which can acccept the raw data from these instruments and array this directly into an Excel Spreadsheet.

For the Programmable FBD and Auto MSB we have software, which can enable computer-guided control and post run data manipulation.

NEW For the MK1 MSB we have a calculation program to convert data into mass susceptibility. We can now supply an A/D coverter to allow automatic calculation of volume and mass suceptibilitya
