DESCRIPTION
Technical Description
Nine different process parameters can be set using potentiometers on the front panel of the experimental unit.
The software provides a wide range of diagrams and graphs.
The simulator can model the theoretical system limits without hazard, limits at which real systems would be destroyed or seriously damaged.
The measured values are transmitted directly to a PC via USB. The data acquisition software is included.
