ESPRIT Communication Functions

ESPRIT contains a number of different communication functions. This ranges from communication with the electron microscope and third party programs to communication between application support and users. This is supported by network and user management tools.

 

ESPRIT SEMLink

Data communication with SEM, TEM or EPMA:

  • Automatic data transfer between QUANTAX and the SEM, TEM, or EPMA of most important analysis parameters (acceleration voltage, working distance and magnification)
  • Switching between internal and external scan mode
  • Driver for microscopes with internal stage control

 

ESPRIT User

Multi-user operation with private data areas and settings:

  • Password protected user access
  • Protected private and public data areas for storage of spectra, project files, and results
  • Private and public hardware profiles, evaluation methods, and method libraries
  • Integrated user data management system

 

ESPRIT LAN

Client server application and remote access via company LAN:

  • Server computer with hardware access (signal processing unit, etc.)
  • Separate client work station(s) for accessing server data and hardware functions
  • Full remote control of data acquisition, system settings and evaluation
  • Secure communication via TCP/IP LAN protocol
  • Simultaneous multi-user operation in connection with QUANTAX User option

 

ESPRIT Support
