ESPRIT Communication Functions

A large number of communication functions are contained in ESPRIT. This ranges from communication with the electron microscope and external programs to communication between application support and users. This is supported by network and user management tools.

Data communication with SEM, TEM or microprobe

• automatic data transfer between QUANTAX and the SEM, TEM, or electron microprobe of most important analysis parameters (acceleration voltage, working distance and magnification)
  
• switching between internal and external scan mode with data controlled devices
  
• driver for microscopes with internal stage control
  

Multi user operation with private data areas and settings

• password protected user access
  
• protected private and public data areas for storage of spectra, project files, and results
  
• private and public hardware profiles, evaluation methods, and method libraries
  
• integrated user data management system

Client server application and remote access via company LAN

• dedicated server computer with hardware access
  
• separate client work station(s) for accessing server data and hardware functions
  
• full remote control of data acquisition, system settings and evaluation
  
• secure communication via TCP/IP LAN protocol
  
• simultaneous multi user operation in connection with QUANTAX User option

Remote diagnosis and long distance support by BRUKER Nano application experts

• use of modern communication channels (email, Web-meeting, Voice over IP, ...)
  
• direct control of customer hardware and software from remote BRUKER AXS Microanalysis application center
  
• immediate assistance with complicated application problems
  
• no travel costs, no long-distance telephone calls

QUANTAX Application program interface for program integration

• remote control of data acquisition and spectra evaluation using third party programs
  
• flexible operation with and without QUANTAX GUI
  
• remote selection of hardware profiles, evaluation methods, and measurement parameters
  
• full support for QUANTAX client-server architecture
  
• easy-to-use DLL solution with source code sample application program
