Outline
You asked for affordability, easy use and compact
size without compromise in quality, and HORIBA has
responded with the LA-300. The LA-300 boasts the superior
technology that research and QA personnel around the
world have come to expect from HORIBA, in a unit that
strikes a harmonious balance between high-functionality,
easy operation and low maintenance, and is cost-effective.
What's more, it's all available in a new compact size
that is sure to complement any busy laboratory.
HORIBA has succeeded in decreasing the size by nearly
30% without forfeiting quality in the least. In addition
to the capability to analyze a wide variety of materials,
the LA-300 employs an analysis method that dramatically
decreases measurement time while yielding results with
high accuracy. Furthermore, it is equipped with a security
feature for ensuring that proper methods in quality
assurance are followed. With the high performance,
superior accuracy and high level of efficiency obtainable
with the LA-300, one might expect its operation to
be extremely complex. Thanks to this model's easy operation
and low maintenance design, that worry can be put to
rest.
Main Features
Print Layout
The Print Layout program in the LA-300 lets users
perform custom layouts, complete with scaling and editing
capabilities, for data output. Unlike most applications
of this type, that offer a single printing format,
the Print Layout application lets users edit the content,
size and layout for displays of measurement conditions,
graphs, results and other output data. Since a number
of output formats can be saved, the format most appropriate
for a particular print can be specified with ease.
A preview screen is also provided so data can be viewed
as it will be printed out.
Auto-alignment
Thanks to a built-in auto-alignment function, the
LA-300 is able to achieve high repeatability. This
feature not only consistently maintains the ideal operation
condition, but self-calibrates with the touch of a
button, determining whether photo-diodes require re-positioning
and adjusting them accordingly.
Low Maintenance
The LA-300's internal centrifugal circulation pump,
for use with aqueous solutions, virtually eliminates
the necessity for pump replacement since it is very
difficult for powder residues to accumulate.
Security Feature
The LA-300's software application includes a window
that allows the System Administrator to assign user-defined
access for various LA-300 operations. The System
Administrator can specify the attributes of user categories,
as well as customize individual user IDs. User access
is based on user name and password input, and can be
limited to operations ranging from simply launching
and closing the application, to more high-level functions,
such as programming the LA-300's learning function,
Learning Wizard.
Sequential Operation Wizard
Built into the LA-300 is HORIBA's unique operation
function, Sequential Operation Wizard, which helps
save time and labor when performing routine analyses.
Once the user programs the desired measurement conditions
and operation sequence into Sequential Operation Wizard,
using an easy-to- follow graphic user interface, the
recorded measurement sequence can be activated by just
clicking on the appropriate button.
Windows Support
The LA-300 supports Windows XP, NT or 2000. Now,
data retrieved through a search program, for example,
can be converted for processing in EXCEL and other
Windows applications.
Flexible Data Processing
Various data processing options are provided to help
you get the results you need. Among them is a graph
display option that lets the user select to display
a cumulative distribution graph, as well as selections
for specifying histogram spacing, and how axes are
to be displayed. Users can even choose to output to
spreadsheets, or have graphs converted into bitmap
or metafiles.
