Symbion updates DX data system

A Symbion Systems product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 12, 2008

Symbion Systems has released Symbion-DX Version 2.1.

Version 2.1 preserves all the advanced features of earlier versions while adding several capabilities, including a significantly expanded instrument control, spectroscopic data processing, and methods development capabilities.

It is a universal spectroscopic data system for use in LIMS, pharmaceutical process analytical technology (PAT) development, and online process monitoring, and is a result of the joint development programme launched by Symbion and its partner General Electric Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.

Among the advances included are an easy-to-use 'drag and drop' visual programming wizard, an integral OPC server and a completely redesigned HMI (human-machine interface) capability.

In common with earlier versions of Symbion-DX, Version 2.1 provides a standardised platform for controlling a wide range of spectrometers and other analytical instruments.

It provides comprehensive data manipulation and application development capabilities, as well as the ability to communicate with numerous chemometric routines, other third-party programs, and enterprise-wide data systems.

With Version 2.1, Symbion-DX becomes a fully Windows-compliant program, with features such as the ability to integrate analytical data into reports written in Word or other Windows programs.

It provides a high degree of data and user interface standardisation, while supporting all the requirements of specific instruments.

This is made possible by a series of tabbed windows, some of which - such as 'data display' and 'math' - are the same for all instruments.

Others, such as 'control/collect', are specific to individual instruments.

The user simply selects the instrument they wish to operate and the instrument control panel will be customised for that instrument.

Version 2.1 can store data either as files or in an SQL database.

The latter provides comprehensive search capability, as well as easy data handoff to other software entities, such as multivariate programs and data historians.
