Protocol Editor
The Chartmaster protocol editor is a powerful feature allowing complex experimental procedures to be designed, stored, and executed. This tool greatly increases the versatility of Chartmaster and allows for complex, precisely timed experimental protocols.

The principal idea of the protocol editor is to generate a list of events or tasks which can be executed automatically. Various functions such as REPEAT Loops, input queries, or conditional statements allow the generation of complex interactive processes. In addition, the high degree of automation possibilities increases efficiency, minimizes experimental errors and is highly suited for both industrial and research applications.

Online Analysis
The Chartmaster software provides an arbitrary number of analyses that can be performed on newly acquired or stored data. Directly analyzed or derivative data obtained by application of mathematical functions on the analysis results can be displayed as several graphs placed in two independent analysis windows.

This allows separation of different data types, for example, current-voltage plots can be shown separately from time lapse data (e.g. chart recording).

Input/Output Control
The I/O Control window allows direct access to the hardware interface. The status of digital and analog input channels is monitored. Digital and analog output signals can be set. In addition, defined input parameters are also displayed.

Analysis templates can be predefined and stored. Thus, several analysis procedures can easily be switched between and applied to incoming data types without extra editing. A direct link between Pulse Generator sequences and analysis procedures provides definition of data acquisition and analysis prior to the experiment.

Runs on Windows 7, 8 and on Mac OS X > 10.6 (requires a free USB port for the dongle).
