GAIN PEACE OF MIND FOR YOUR PROCESS

An important consideration for successful implementation of spectroscopic analyzers is the ability to continually validate the performance of the analyzer system’s hardware components. The ASTM D6122 standard addresses this concern by out lining testing requirements. 

Our GUIDED WAVE™ Stability Monitoring System SMS™ is a hardware/software package that continuously monitors the accuracy and precision of the analyzer thus ensuring the NIR-O analyzer is producing validated spectra for your applications. The SMS exceeds the requirements of ASTM D6122 for analyzer validation without the need for consumables or human interaction. One channel is used for the SMS.

NIR-O ANALYZER SYSTEM

The GUIDED WAVE NIR-O process analyzer and GUIDED WAVE LAB NIR-O laboratory analyzer are at the core of a comprehensive system that includes the spectrometer, one or more NIR probes, fiber optic cables, and scanning and analysis software. OmniView is the software controlling all aspects of a process NIR-O analyzer, and OmniLab controls LAB NIR-O. This software provides full control of the analyzer operations, diagnostics, data manipulation, maintenance and event logging, trend graphs and alarms, calibration model security, and control of inputs and outputs.  

NIR-O Analyzer System Available with SMS Option

Our NIR-O process analyzer is the core of a comprehensive system that includes the spectrometer, one or more NIR probes, fiber optic cables, and OmniView™ scanning and analysis software.  The SMS is an optional, added component for NIR-O which includes hardware and software to perform analyzer validation according to ASTM methodology.

SMS provides assurance that all of the ASTM required measurements are conducted at the appropriate time and can send a signal or message to the control system if a validation issue is encountered.
