PEAXACT Tour Part 9 - Real-Time Analysis

This is part 9 of a tour through PEAXACT - Software for Quantitative Spectroscopy from S-PACT. It shows how to use PEAXACT as a back-end predictor for automated real-time analysis, introducing PEAXACT ProcessLink and the PEAXACT AppServer.

PEAXACT ProcessLink

PEAXACT ProcessLink is a Windows App which links PEAXACT data analysis to any third-party application without the need to write custom software. ProcessLink uses a technique called "folder monitoring" to watch a directory for incoming files. New spectrum files are automatically analyzed in real-time. Results are immediately presented to the user in a real-time chart, and are exposed to external applications by means of a built-in OPC UA server. This procedure is totally device-independent, i.e. it works with any lab or process instrument and any measurement software. All it needs is a PEAXACT model to analyze the data. (More on the product web page.)

PEAXACT AppServer

PEAXACT AppServer provides an easy application programming interface (API) - either as a .NET assembly or as a COM component - which gives developers full flexibility to integrate PEAXACT as a back-end analyzer with their own applications.

For some third-party applications, the PEAXACT AppServer is shipped with ready-to-use interfaces, e.g., for Kaiser (HoloPro) or Bruker (OPUS), other third parties have already integrated the PEAXACT AppServer into their software themselves, e.g., Endress+Hauser (Raman RunTime), tec5 (MultiSpec Pro II), Tornado (Spectral Soft), Magritek (SpinSolve), AspenTech (Process Pulse II), Optimal (synTQ), Siemens (SIPAT).
