The Thermo Scientific SOLAAR Data Station Software runs on the AA Series Data Station
and will control iCE 3000, M and S Series spectrometers. The software is aware of the type
of spectrometer that it is controlling, and will only provide relevant parameters and options for
each instrument type and configuration. The Data Station Software supports all the facilities
provided by all the AA Series Accessories.
The software features a range of Wizard based procedures and a tabbed methods
dialogue to make setting up even complex analyses fast and easy. All raw data, results and
parameters are stored in a single database for easy retrieval. True Windows multi-tasking is
available so that SOLAAR can be iconized while running an analysis, allowing concurrent use
of other applications. Methods can be created, edited and saved, and earlier results can be
reviewed, edited and printed while an analysis is underway.
SOLAAR software enables full 16 element methods to be performed automatically. The
flexible and comprehensive tabbed methods dialogue box guides the user through setting up
complex, multi-element analyses. Data coded HCLs are fully supported, and facilities are
provided to record lamp usage. Up to 10 calibration standards and a blank can be used, with
segmented curve, linear, or quadratic least squares, fit calibration algorithms. Normal, standard
addition and standard curve calibration methods are supported, with full graphical display and
print out of the calibration curve. Full alpha-numeric sample details including sample mass and
dilution correction can be entered for each sample, or imported via text files.
Comprehensive furnace signal graphics are provided; automated ash-atomize plots produce
graphical data for furnace program optimization and will even suggest optimum values. For
flame systems, fully automatic fuel gas flow and burner height optimization with graphical
presentation are provided.
Extensive on line, fully context sensitive, Help facilities are available. Carefully structured
“books” allow easy browsing and searching, as well as, direct access to any Help topic.
Trouble-shooting and diagnostics sections describe simple experiments to first locate the
problem then to rectify it. A full “cookbook” with default parameters for all elements,
common interferences, and the means of overcoming them is included.
SOLAAR software provides comprehensive printer support through the Windows operating
system. Report formatting enables customization of the sample details, results, summaries,
methods, system parameters and graphical displays that are to be included in the report. All
reports, as well as individual results, are time and date stamped. Flexible and comprehensive
results database filters select and display the required data, which can be exported to other
applications for further processing. All results are able to be edited, and are automatically
audit trailed. Password protection and the Audit Trail maintain the validity of the data for
accreditation purposes.
