MemoryScan (iO, LFP, MYIRO-9)

CHROMiX was the first to offer the innovative MemoryScan function (in June 2016) which recalls the position of prior targets for speedy multi-target scanning on iO, LFP/qb and MYIRO-9.

Use heavy tape (iO and LFP) to mark target positions and measuring becomes as fast as placing a trimmed target and hitting the space bar!

Target Rotating (measure in any orientation)

Sometimes rotating a target 90 or 180 degrees makes scanning much easier:

• Hand-held instruments like i1Pro, eXact and SpectroDens are often easier to use across a target in a specific direction
• Sheet scanners like the iSis and MYIRO-9 often scan targets in the portrait orientation but table scanners like the iO and LFP need them in landscape.
• The MYIRO-9 needs a target to have a sizable border on its trailing edge - feeding it an iSis target 'upside down' often works better.
• Some heatmap-style targets will only fit into a scanner rotated 90 degrees from the direction it passed through the printer

Place-Anywhere QR Codes (MYIRO-9)

The MYIRO-9 (FD-9) can detect QR codes, and Maxwell takes advatage to route measurements. We implemented our own version of the function to allow for the QR code to appear anywhere on a target - much more useful when placing QR codes on targets that are also to be scanned on an iSis.

On-Instrument Reporting (eXact, SpectroPad)

CHROMiX was the first to offer On-Instrument Reporting (in April 2018) which sends Maxwell verification results directly to the eXact's screen (including wirelessly).

The Barbieri SpectroPad is fully integrated with Maxwell, synchronizing Maxwell settings to the 'Pad and gathering the results back into Maxwell Tracks and Jobs. The 'Pad reports its results on-screen immediately as well.

Flexible Connections

At CHROMiX we like to get along with others and our software shows it.

Our software typically won't connect to an instrument until the measurement process begins. It's also simple to disconnect from instruments and leave the software running. This makes it easy to use instruments in other software while still running our apps. This seems like reasonable basic behavior though you'll be surprised to find how many other applications aren't this friendly.
