Milestone Srl - Products - Microwave Digestion - Start MOD

Advanced User Interface

The START MOD is operated via a compact terminal with bright, full-color, touch-screen display.

Industrial grade touch-screen controller
6,5” screen with 65.000 colors
VGA resolution 640 x 480 for sharp process graphics
1 USB port for printer, 2 PS2 ports for mouse and keyboard, 3 RS 232 ports for external devices

The terminal runs the Milestone’s unique EasyCONTROL software, to provide simple, userfriendly control of the microwave sample preparation process.

EasyCONTROL software

Milestone’s new EasyCONTROL software is the most advanced and powerful operating system in the field of microwave sample preparation. Automatic, real-time monitoring and feedback-based control of multiple parameters offers unsurpassed process control. Simply recall a factory stored program or create a new one. Press ‘Start’, and the system will automatically follow the drawn temperature or pressure profile, utilizing a sophisticated PID algorithm.

Benefits of EasyCONTROL software

On-line control of all parameters.
Direct temperature control in all vessels by infrared sensor.
Temperature driven microwave power output:
Reaction is controlled at any temperature, not only once a set temperature is reached.
- Better control of exothermic reactions.
- Same digestion quality for different sample sizes.
One method only needed for any number of samples.

Easy data transfer by EasyDOC Windows-based software

The START MOD terminal offers the ability to save methods and runs on a Windows-formatted flash card.
The flash-card can be directly read by any laptop with a PCMCIA port or, via an adapter, through a USB port. All methods and runs are saved, and can be transferred to/from the hard drive of the computer. Therefore there is virtually unlimited memory for storing all your sample preparation data.
Furthermore, with Milestone’s Windows™- based EasyDOC software, it is possible to convert the data coming from the START MOD terminal into a standard format readable by any database or spreadsheet software (Excel™, etc.).
