The new VersaTenn V for Environmental Test Chambers includes
the latest software developments in environmental test chamber
control with a user-friendly touchscreen interface The VersaTenn V controller for Environmental Test Chambers incorporates the capabilities to take environmental test into the 21st century and beyond. The controller includes communication capabilities for the “Global Factory” of the future, where data is gathered from around the globe via the Internet, from around the factory floor via Ethernet, and from around the test lab via IEEE 488 and RS-232. Based on VersaTenn’s Proven
Logic. . . It is precisely designed to take complete command of the chamber’s conditioning systems. Logic circuits automatically select heating/cooling (Channel 1), and humidity (Channel 2) modes as required, with total programming of temperature and humidity versus time. Up to six optional event outputs may be provided. A 100 ohm platinum RTD is used for temperature measurement. A dry capacitance type sensor is used for humidity measurement. To support global deployment, the VersaTenn V (VT V) can support multiple languages with its built-in on-line Help and Wizard systems. This product offers end users and their organizations a high performance controller with advanced programming and communications capabilities. RS-232 data communications is standard. Program storage is only limited by Flash Disk storage. You can download and upload these files to a 3½“ floppy drive mounted on the left front side of the chamber. The VT V utilizes Microsoft’s advanced Windows™ CE operating system. Windows CE is a compact modular OS that gives the VersaTenn V a Windows graphical user interface, and provides powerful communication capabilities. A floppy disc drive provides the VersaTenn V with an extra dimension in chamber control and data logging, where you can download/upload your chamber profiles, and log chamber data with ease. File format is PC compatible and program, logging, and calibration files can all be exchanged with the desktop. File names are Win 95 compatible, so meaningful names can be used. The eight soft buttons at the bottom of the screen on the cover are the essential roadmaps to total system control. At the touch of your finger, you can quickly switch between screens and access programming, setup, and diagnostic screens, which provides total chamber control for any application. Versatility is what makes the VersaTenn V truly enjoyable to operate. You don’t have to refer to your manual every time you wish to change a parameter, or to view realtime process values. These values are displayed numerically. Navigation and control buttons on every screen permit instant access to chamber functions and options. VersaTen V
The VersaTenn V offers the latest touch screen technology. Incorporating Soft Keys and the state-of-the-art multi-tasking capabilities of Windows CE™ the VT V provides a unique, friendly and powerful user interface. The bottom row of Soft Screen Keys below the LCD provides immediate access to each of the eight screens. This gives the VersaTenn V its powerful control capabilities. Switching from one screen to another is easy and natural. While entering information on one screen, you can switch to another screen to view a setting or parameter. You can then return to the previous screen just where you left it.
