Balances Software

Shimadzu has released Balance Keys, data collection software capable of running in Windows™ 7, Windows™ 8 and Windows™ 10, as the computer software successor to the popular WindowsDirect function. With the remarkable advancement of office and factory automation, there has been a simultaneous increase in the demand to import balance data to computers, to save on labor and to avoid transcription mistakes. Balance data can be imported directly to the user's applications with the intuitive feel of keyboard input using the existing popular WindowsDirect function as is*1. In addition, data from multiple balances (up to three balances) can be imported. The software also supports the Shimadzu MOC series moisture analyzers and the AP series analytical balances*2.

When connected to an analytical balance, LabSolutions Balance can be used to perform all processes automatically, such as calculating weighing results, and then save the weighing results in a LabSolutions database. Consequently, it eliminates the need for hand-written records and eliminates transcription errors. The software not only records sample information and results, but also protects data from malicious alteration and unintended overwriting or deletion and saves all audit trail information in a LabSolutions database. Furthermore, balance measurement data can be loaded during LabSolutions LC/GC batch analysis to create user-customizable analysis reports or for integrated data management by connecting to a LabSolutions CS integrated network system that includes non-Shimadzu equipment.
