Woking modes

Offline operation: All internal and some of the external elements can be controlled with the front panel buttons and knobs. The user defined program sequences or algorithms can also be chosen for automatic operations.

Online operation: Computer programs in C++, Matlab or Android are prepared with appropriate graphical interface to facilitate the control and monitoring or to download program sequences or algorithm into the apparatus for offline operations.

Network operation: The remote control is feasible with Bluetooth, wireless or Ethernet using smartphones, tablets and other terminals. In addition, they can easily communicate with other MesoBioTech instruments and commonly used devices such as NI-Daq modules, CCD cameras, spectrometers, electrochemical station, etc. for monitoring or feedback control. Finally, MesoBioTech provides open sources or SDK for uses’ development.
