CONTROLLERS
Standard on all LH, FD, HD, SM, SD, BHD, & Walk-In Series Environmental Test Chambers
Now you can monitor your environmental testing away from the chamber. Enabling communication, AESONE XCHANGE is hardware that lives inside your test chamber opening a world of access.
When AESONE XCHANGE is connected to your test chambers controller and you company network you get access to AESONE CONSOLE. A web-based dashboard view lets you monitor your test chamber remotely as a device is undergoing test. The home pages is a side-by-side view of the setpoints and current temperature and humidity and a customizable graph. AESONE CONSOLE software allows you to operate your chamber on a full-screen monitor at your desk or remotely on a laptop or tablet. View real-time readings and control your chamber's temperature and humidity.
A full-screen-mode graph allows you to view and monitor live and historical data with a pause-and-resume feature while the chamber is running a test profile.
From a web browser, you have the ability to move between profiles, create new profiles, edit and save them. The Profile Builder uses an easy drag-and-drop interface that makes choosing steps and rearranging test profile steps a breeze. Say goodbye to spending hours standing at a small screen in front of the chamber building test profiles or using an overcomplicated interface.
Using a shared chamber is not a problem if you are using AESONE XCHANGE security features which decrease test interference with three authentication methods and six permission levels controlled only by the administrator.
Dimensions: Embedded software allows you to work on a full screen at your desktop or remotely on a laptop or tablet. Ask for the optional touchscreen monitor to mount on the chamber for full-screen access or plug your laptop in when you're working at the chamber.
Analog Inputs: up to 24* (dependent on controller configuration)
Networking: Ethernet, JSON API, python scripts
Data Storage: Internal flash memory
Capacity before Reset: up to 8 years of continuous recording* (dependent on data logging settings)
