Advanced User Interface

The START E is operated via a compact terminal with bright, touch-screen display

• Monochrome industrial grade controller 5” touch- screen
• Resolution 240 x 128 dots for sharp process graphic
• 1 PS2 port for mouse, 1 RS 485 port for microwave unit, and 1 RS 232 port for external devices
• Methods and process reporting data saved on internal memory

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 20 times per second.
• Temperature driven microwave power output:
• Extraction is controlled at any temperature, not only once a set temperature is reached.
• One method only needed for any number of samples.

Easy data transfer by EasyDOC Windows-based software

The START E terminal offers the ability to save methods and runs on an internal memory.
The START E can be directly connected to a laptop via cable. All methods and runs 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 E terminal into a standard format readable by any database or spreadsheet software (Excel™, etc.).
