1. Select your Apparatus setup
- Select Apparatus background that matches your reaction setup
- Select up to four Apparatus setups
- Create new or open existing Apparatus templates
|
|
|
 |
2. Add devices
- Select and name devices
- Set device parameters and safety limits
- Link devices for dual control e.g. pump and balance for gravimetric additions
|
 |
 |
3. Select Direct or Schedule control
- Control devices directly via the Apparatus Window, or...
- Set device parameters and safety limits
- Use the Schedule Window to create experiment profiles e.g. create ramps, plateaus and timed actions
|
|
|
 |
4. ‘Track and Repeat’
- Track what you do, as you do it and record all actions
- Repeat and refine the schedule to optimise the experiment
- This clever features enables automation of a manual process with ease and without any programming knowledge

5. During your experiment
- Stop, pause or skip steps and modify experiments mid-run
- Add or remove steps as the timeline progresses
- Add or record notes in the Event Log
- View real-time graphs
|

6. Enhanced safety
- Set individual device warning alarms
- Set emergency safe conditions or reactioction shutdown if a sensor limit is exceeded
- Create safety feedback loops e.g. control pump addition by process temperature
- Set user-definable limits or parameters for all devices
|

7. Log and report
- Automatically logs and saves all data
- The report wizard creates detailed reports in rich text format (for word processing) or CSV (for spreadsheets)
- Share experiments and results with other AVA users
