Flo-Ware is a software system for communication with supported instruments. The
system uses a modular format, where "plug-in" file drivers are installed for each
instrument type that is used.
Additionally, data can be processed from supported instruments at the same time. For
example, data can be plotted from the Flo-Tote system and from the Flo-Dar system in
the same chart or text report.
Flo-Ware options:
• Data charts
• Data reports
• Data reconstruction and edit functions
• International language support
• Custom formats for data reports
File Driver options:
• International language support
• Communications with devices directly or via modem
• Original file-type reading
• Data calculations
• Other instrument services
Compatible programs:
• Report Designer—the Report Designer is used to change the design of text reports.
The reports can be saved as templates for easy reuse.
• Instrument-specific drivers—these "plug-ins" are designed for each instrument type
that operates with Flo-Ware. After the driver is installed, Flo-Ware will automatically
communicate with and record data from the associated instrument.
