OPUS: Último lanzamiento
OPUS Workstation
OPUS 9.3 is the latest releases of OPUS, the leading software for measurement, processing and evaluation of IR, NIR and Raman spectra. OPUS is a true 64 Bit software, delivering utmost performance under native 64 Bit operation.
OPUS 9.3 is released for Windows 11.
OPUS 9.3 contains further improvements for FT-IR, QCL- and Raman microscopy and the new VERTEX NEO Ultra and the OMEGA 5 runs with the validation program OVP-X.
New OPUS 9.3 features include:
- Combined StepScan Support for Multi-Scale Kinetics: The latest OPUS version introduces full support for combined Step-Scan measurements, enabling seamless acquisition of fast (nanosecond) and slower (microsecond/millisecond) kinetics within a single experiment. Unlike traditional workflows that require two consecutive step-scan runs, OPUS now synchronizes data collection for both time regimes in one pass through the interferogram. This significantly reduces measurement time for studies spanning multiple kinetic scales.
The software integrates transient recorder functionality for high-speed events (up to 2.5 ns resolution) alongside standard ADC sampling for slower processes (up to 6 μs), ensuring efficient memory usage and minimizing redundant data. Users benefit from improved signal-to-noise ratios and streamlined analysis, making it easier than ever to capture and interpret dynamic processes across diverse time domains.
- Sample Compartment Purge Mode: The new OPUS version introduces a dedicated purge mode for the sample compartment, allowing users to purge with dried air or nitrogen while the rest of the optical bench remains under vacuum. This feature is particularly valuable for samples that cannot be placed in a vacuum environment, ensuring optimal measurement conditions without compromising sample integrity. By isolating the purge to the sample compartment, users can maintain high spectral quality and minimize atmospheric interference, even when working with sensitive or vacuum-incompatible materials.
- OPUS writes into new OPUS_XXX.db when defined file size is reached: Performance of OPUS decreased when OPUS.db became too large due to too many audit trail entries.
The number of audit trail (AT) entries per database can be defined with the new command parameter /MAXAUDITTRAILROWS=<Number of AT entries>. About 1400 AT entries correspond to 1 Mbyte. - Export more than one file as a new format: The system allowed in the past a user to save one file or a block or blocks of one file as a new format. The new opus function allows a user to export more than one file with a new format at once.
OPUS-TOUCH
With the newest release version 7, OPUS-TOUCH starts its next generation. It is the first true touch-operated software for infrared spectroscopy without the need for another second software on the side. It guides users through workflows with clarity and precision, reduces training time, and minimizes operational errors.
Method Creator & Editor for Quick Compare
Quick Compare methods can now be created and edited directly in OPUS TOUCH. The built-in editor provides the full functionality of classical OPUS and adds convenient enhancements such as automated group creation and method signing directly within the editor.
Automated Product Creation
Products can now be created automatically from Quick Compare method files, either for all included components or for individually selected ones. There is no need to manually generate an MEV file anymore. The expected reference for each product is assigned automatically. In addition, MEV files that contain Quick Compare data can also be used for automated product creation.
Product Editor
The product workflow now supports editing existing products. All relevant components of an already existing product, such as method files or product images, can be modified.
As a new product customization option, the editor allows adding up to five additional input fields and supports overwrite parameters for measurement time and resolution.
Product Workflow Improvements
The loading time for multiple products has been significantly reduced.
Method Creator & Editor for Quant 1
OPUS TOUCH now enables the creation of Quant 1 methods using an intuitive method builder that offers multiple integration techniques, a graphical results view, and a comprehensive calibration report.
Full OVP-X Support
OVPX can now be fully managed via OPUS TOUCH. Individual tests can be activated or deactivated, and validity periods can be defined for each test routine.
C/O Analysis with MappIR and Map300
The latest update introduces a powerful new workflow that enables users to create maps of measurement points on wafers of various diameters. Following the measurements, the carbon and oxygen content is accurately determined and can be easily exported for further analysis.
User Experience Improvements
OPUS TOUCH now offers extended customization options, including new color themes, an image gallery, and an optional non‑full‑screen windowed mode allowing users to adapt the software to their individual preferences and to various hardware setups such as panel PCs, laptops, or desktop systems. Animated button highlights and a set of new tutorial videos further improve user guidance and make training even easier.
BRAVO
La versión 2.2.4 es la última versión del software del espectrómetro Raman portátil BRAVO, compatible con OPUS 8.8.4. Déjese guiar directamente a través de un flujo de trabajo intuitivo, que incluye varias herramientas de análisis y opciones de generación de informes, pulsando sobre los iconos en una pantalla táctil grande. El BRAVO está diseñado para funcionar en entornos validados de la industria farmacéutica y ofrece toda la funcionalidad necesaria para cumplir con los requisitos reglamentarios desde el primer momento.
Las nuevas funciones del Raman portátil BRAVO incluyen:
- Acceso Web BRAVO
Una interfaz https segura permite acceder a la información del sistema, la funcionalidad de licencia, la gestión de certificados EAP-TLS y la funcionalidad de compartir pantalla BRAVO. - Visor BRAVO
El acceso web https seguro permite compartir la pantalla del BRAVO, así como el control remoto total del software BRAVO a través de un navegador web. - Diagnóstico del dispositivo
Funcionalidad de diagnóstico del dispositivo actualizada para un acceso rápido y sencillo a la información del estado de rendimiento. - Autenticación WiFi EAP-TLS
Soporte de protocolo EAP-TLS con certificados personalizados. - Modo de Servicio
Nueva funcionalidad del modo de servicio para permitir un mantenimiento completo por parte del servicio Bruker. - Conexión al servidor de tiempo NTP
Una nueva opción para controlar la fecha y hora del sistema es la conexión independiente a un servidor de hora NTP.
ONET
El software ONET 3.1 es una aplicación de servidor a la que se accede a través de una interfaz web basada en un navegador (WebUI), que permite configurar, administrar y controlar una red de instrumentos FT-IR o FT-NIR desde cualquier parte del mundo. Todos los datos medidos en los espectrómetros locales se almacenan de forma centralizada. No obstante, todos los datos y archivos necesarios siguen estando disponibles localmente, lo que permite analizar las muestras en cualquier momento, incluso cuando la red está temporalmente desconectada.
Las nuevas funciones ONET 3.1 incluyen:
- Nueva y moderna interfaz web de usuario
- Comunicación con clientes ONET más rápida y eficiente
- Fácil asignación de valores de referencia mediante la importación de .csv
CMET
CMET 3.1 es la última versión del software de proceso que sirve de enlace entre los excelentes analizadores de proceso FT-NIR de Bruker y el Sistema de Control Distribuido (DCS) del cliente. Los comandos dados por el DCS se transfieren a CMET que, a su vez, inicia una medición específica y transmite los datos de vuelta al DCS para su visualización y archivo, así como para la supervisión y optimización del proceso. CMET es compatible con varios protocolos de comunicación estándar, como Modbus, Profibus DP, 4-20 mA y OPC, lo que garantiza una conectividad óptima.
Las nuevas funciones de CMET 3.1 incluyen:
BIAS en línea, control de recetas (manejo simplificado para procesos por lotes) y CMET como servicio.
Soporte de los cabezales de emisión de la serie Q412 y modo adicional de única fuente.
Gráfico de tendencias con una nueva interfaz, funcionalidad de inicio de sesión y conexión a la base de datos.
