NEXTSTEP.
-- Paris, France, May 23, 1994 -- IFE Technologies announced the
availability of COLUMBUS, for NeXTSTEP (Intel, HP and Motorola
hardware).
Columbus is a leading NextStep application in Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS). Columbus is a solution for laboratories
that need to handle large amounts of spectrometry and spectrography
data. Columbus offers publishing capabilities that enable paperless
report writings.
Columbus can collect data two ways :
- reading ASCII files exported by the instrument software
- direct file transfer using serial lines, or ethernet.
VAMAS format is supported
Columbus can process spectra. images and profiles (depth, angular, linear ...)
from :
- electron spectroscopies : AES, XPS, UPS, EELS
- Electron microprobe : WDS, EDS with quantitative procedures
- Ion spectrometry : SMIS, Static-SIMS, ISS
- X-Ray Diffraction, XRD, RHEED, LEED
- Infra-Red : FTIR, RAMAN
- Photoluminescence.
Columbus features advanced data processes and data reduction,
including peak fitting factor analysis and peak identification and
quantitation procedures. It was developed by a team of software
engineers that all holds Ph.D. in materials Science and related
fields, and under the supervision of well known scientists in each
field.
Columbus has demonstrated that is can double the productivity of a
characterization laboratory. Our customers include larger private
and public research laboratories (Aerospatiale, Thomson, CEA-LETI,
