• Instrument Control & Data Acquisition

  Drivers and applications are included to control every JASCO spectroscopy instrument and accessory. Simple dialogs allow creation and editing of method files and acquisition processes. Data acquired from the instrument is automatically transferred to the Spectra Analysis application for further analysis and reporting. Each instrument driver includes comprehensive hardware diagnostics and validation.

• Data Processing & Spectral Analysis

  Many types of data files (UV-Visible/NIR, FTIR, Fluorescence, etc.) can be viewed in a single window, and processed using a full range of dedicated data processing functions. Features include peak location, arithmetic operations, derivatives, peak integration and processing, smoothing, baseline correction, etc.

• Flexible Display Features

  Powerful visualization tools can be used to overlay and print in user-selectable colors and patterns, with full control of style & font and autoscale mode. The workspace can be customized with flexible display of windows and tool bars, etc.

• Report Publishing

  JASCO Canvas is a powerful reporting package that can be used to produce versatile customizable report layouts.

• Macro Command

  The Macro Command application is used to develop bespoke programs for almost any type of experimental design including measurement protocols, data acquisition, complex post-run data processing and reporting, etc.

• Spectra Manager™ CFR

  Spectra Manager™ CFR provides secure access and features compliant with 21 CFR Part 11; system access requires a user name and password which are assigned by the Workgroup Manager and individual Access Levels determine the access to Administrative Tools which includes instrument configuration, analysis applications, user setup, workgroup setup and security policies as well as system and application history logs. Three levels of electronic signatures are required including creation, review, and approval stages. An audit trail is recorded in each data file recording any data processing performed on the spectral data.

  ● Management of security information for systems, users, data and records

  ● Access control for secure systems by user ID and password

  ● Audit trail function with time-stamp for tracking records

  ● Three levels of electronic signatures for record integrity

• Spectra Manager™ CFR

  Spectra Manager™ CFR is compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. Data is stored withn a secure file structure to guarantee integrity of each electronic record. A choice of pull-down task menus, user-friendly icons, and easily accessible pop-up menus enables new users to manage security information, control user access, and record audit trails

• Easy-to-Use

  A startup window lists available resources, such as instruments, measurement and application programs. User access requires a Username and Password, assigned by the Workgroup Manager.

• Access Rights Control

  System access levels for Administrator, Power User, Limited User and User are defined.

• Electronic Signatures

  There are three levels of electronic signatures: Creation, Review and Approval. Electronic signatures are applied to spectral data files, Canvas templates or documents, instrument parameters and analysis methods.

• Audit Trail for System and Applications

  The system and application history are automatically recorded.

• Audit Trail for Data Files and Parameters

  Audit trails are recorded for every data file, recording data processing for all spectral data. Records are also made in the audit trail for instrument parameters, Canvas templates and Method files.
