DSC 300 Caliris^® Supreme & Select 

AutoEvaluation is an intelligent software allowing for the evaluation – self-acting or at the push of a button – of unknown curves. AutoEvaluation analyzes DSC curves by first recognizing any key effects such as glass transitions or melting peaks, and then properly interpreting side effects such as recrystallization effects in logical steps. For the first time, users have access to expert applications knowledge in the form of an intelligent software algorithm.

Identify is a unique software tool for the identification and classification of measurements via database comparison. In addition to allowing for one-on-one comparisons with individual curves and literature data, it also can check whether a particular curve belongs to a certain class. These classes can consist of curves of the same material type (material identification) or of reference curves for Pass/Fail testing (quality control). 

The NETZSCH libraries provide about 1300 entries related to different application areas such as polymers, organics, pharmaceuticals, inorganics, metals/alloys and ceramics. The also available KIMW* database includes the DSC curves for another 1150 commercially available polymer products. Users can expand Identify as desired, adding unlimited amounts of their own data. In general, all database entries serve as a pool of results and useful measurement conditions. 

* KIMW = Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid, German

SmartMode is designed especially for routine measurements as common in quality control. It allows for quick and easy preparation and start of measurements, for tasks using clearly defined measurement procedures. Wizards (quick-start routines), user-defined or pre-defined measurement methods are helpful assistants.

Using the ExpertMode, the Sky is the Limit. This mode is designed for users preferring to access the full scope of Proteus^®® possibilities. It is perfect for advanced measurement tasks and offers infinite potential.

SmartMode and ExpertMode are part of the standard configuration of the Proteus^®® software and can always be found next to each other.

When working regularly with Proteus^®® analysis, it can be overwhelming to deal with all of the available functionalities. Take advantage of Proteus^®® Workspaces to tailor the Proteus^®® analysis menu and tool bar icons to your daily routine. Move all your frequently used items to the front, hide options you rarely or never use and save your preferred setup as your personal workspace. This is particularly useful for workstations used by more than one person. Users can easily switch between custom and joint workspaces. 

Database Capability without the Need to Own a Database License

When working with measurement and evaluation data for different materials and from different measurement setups, it is enormously helpful to be able to filter by certain criteria. The Proteus^®®Search Engine filters your measurement data in a matter of seconds. It is a powerful data mining tool. After selection, previews of measurement curves or analysis status are displayed automatically. Folders in the file system can be opened simply with one click. Users can create individual searches, for example “MyPolymers”, and switch easily between different existing searches. 

Filters can be set by:

• File and sample name
• Remark, operator, method
• Instrument name
• File and signal type
• Date of measurement
• Measurement conditions
• Evaluated effects (glass transitions, peaks, onsets, enthalpies)

LabV-Primed -  Enter the Digital Lab

The volume of data recorded in analytical laboratories is growing continuously. In the laboratory of tomorrow, devices, people and systems will be connected end-to-end. Keeping track of and organizing collected data to be available for future experiments, final reports or comparison is key for optimized laboratory workflow. Predictions based on gathered data improve quality, part and process performance make the future lab more efficient.

The NETZSCH DSC 300 Caliris^®® comes LabV-primed. Using the LabV cloud solution keeps all your lab data in one place, connects all your devices and systems irrespective of manufacturer. Effortless documentation offers more time for tests and interpretation of data. LabV^® connects all the analysis methods, making processes transparent. Projects become more flexible and product quality predictable. 

The DSC 300 Caliris^®® provides an LED light bar that allows you to check the status of your instrument as you walk by, with color adjusted accordingly. It is reassuring to see from afar without having to log into your PC, that your measurement is running smoothly and to be able to read instrument status notifications such as: 

• Instrument is ready 
• Measurement is running 
• Measurement progress 
• Heating/cooling to setpoint 
• User interaction needed

Control over your measurements without logging into the PC 

The integrated color display allows you to start a measurement that was previously prepared in the NETZSCH Proteus^®® software. Just touch the prepared measurement button on the display and you will be informed about the correct setup of the measurement. This moves the final check before you start a new measurement directly onto the instrument. The color touch display allows you to: 

Start measurements by finger touch 
Follow the measurement progress 
∙ Check the execution list on recently finished measurements 
∙ See the progress of your measurement and time remaining 
∙ Check gases, idle states and the current temperature 
∙ Get an immediate overview of the evaluated measurement results
