Thermo Electron’s NITON Analyzers business unit has released a new version of software for its NITON XLt 797 portable XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analyzer. Version 4.4, enables users to establish thresholds for rapid screening of solder bars, circuit boards and their components, then displays pass or fail symbols for each regulated element.
Whether manufacturers are segregating Pb and Pb-free stock, performing due diligence testing to verify supplier certifications or controlling solder chemistry as part of process quality control, the analyzer and software allows companies to employ non-technical personnel for these critical tasks. Easy-to-use data entry includes a virtual keyboard and integrated barcode scanner.
Capable of storing more than 3000 legally defensible measurements for later download. All readings are encrypted to prevent accidental or intentional tampering with the analytical result, yet may be easily incorporated into database or spreadsheet packages for reference to the company’s manufacturing and/or quality control systems.
