High school scientific workshop software for Visio, Primo, and Synéo consoles

GENERALIST MODE
Its generalist mode includes a wide range of tools that allow:
- Data acquisition
- Multiple representation of acquired values in the form of graphs, tables, or digital displays
- Processing of acquired data: spreadsheet calculations, smoothing, regression, portioning, modeling...
- Publishing the lab report using the report function integrating classic layout tools
- Personalized specific assistance adapted to students

Data Acquisition: a 3-click setup
1. You drag the adapter or direct measurement channel icon vertically with the mouse.
2. You drag the time icon or keyboard icon horizontally for manual acquisition.
3. You click on the start icon and... it's ready!
The software automatically manages the acquisition time, the number of points, or the representation scales. For more precision, you can also adjust these parameters as needed to make the most of your console's performance.

Data Processing: a true scientific spreadsheet-grapher
The PC Scientific Workshop has a 'Data Processing' workshop integrating classic tools like portioning, regression, or smoothing... It is also possible to model your curves either using the main predefined functions or by adding any function yourself.

Assistance: step-by-step guidance
The PC Scientific Workshop's assistance covers 3 main aspects: software assistance, multimedia hardware assistance on the console and main probes used, and customizable pedagogical assistance.

Report: a user-friendly publishing tool
To finish the lab, the student can publish their results using the 'Report' workshop. With this tool, they can work on the coherent presentation of the experimental protocol issue and the results obtained. The report is saved with the acquisition file and can be opened later.

Synchronized Video Acquisition: for new educational paths
Didactic innovation: Using images as an educational tool to facilitate:
- Your students' understanding through synchronous viewing of phenomena and measurements
- Implementation by filming the preparatory phase of the experiment
- Exploitation and analysis of the experiment by students, outside the laboratory.

Technological innovation: Using images as scientific data:
In addition to your classical measurements, the image becomes a true spatial and temporal reference, in which you can measure distances, areas, and their evolution over time.
All these parameters are simultaneously transferred to the PC Scientific Workshop's spreadsheet and can be graphically processed.


DEDICATED MODULES
Chronomeca Module
Ideal for studying vertical free fall, the motion of a solid on an inclined plane, and verifying that, in all cases, ag = g regardless of the mass.

The Chronomeca module is dedicated to the study of free fall and inclined plane on an air-cushioned bench, with the adapters and sensors
chronociné. The necessary equipment is automatically recognized, and an assistant guides the user in the acquisition setup and sensor positioning.
With manual triggering of the free fall TP, the integrated photocoupler allows the measurement to be triggered at the precise moment the ball starts. This allows you to study the ball's fall without initial velocity. In the study of the inclined plane, the chronometer is triggered by the mobile passing the chrono sensor.
With each acquisition, the chronomeca module represents the distance traveled over time x=f(t) and the speed over time v=f(t).
The experiment can be easily repeated several times to vary the sensor positions and increase the number of
points.
Numerous processing tools are available such as the scientific spreadsheet-grapher for calculations and curve representation, function modeling to establish trajectory equations, or derivatives for velocity calculations...

Titration Module
Ideal for pHmetric titration of an acid or base in a solution, titration of a common product by conductometry, and saving time by guiding and automating various types of titrations.

The titration module allows for rapid and optimal study of pHmetric, conductometric, and potentiometric titrations.
Integrated help files in the module offer guidance on equipment usage and adjustment procedures.
A very ergonomic acquisition workshop automatically recognizes the equipment used and allows for setup and acquisition in a few clicks.

The titration module allows for setting the experimental conditions of the reaction: concentrations of products used, volumes added. The module guides the student in the experimental process by indicating the protocol to follow:
- With the automatic burette Titronic, the software controls the titrant volume and manages successive additions based on pH variations. This ensures high-quality curves obtained quickly.
- The titrant can also be added with a conventional burette in drop-by-drop mode; a chrono sensor triggers the pH measurement with each drop and allows for determining the volume added.
- You can also optimize your volume measurements using the Ergolab^® burette, specially designed for this type of
manipulation. At an attractive cost, it provides high measurement precision and allows the student to remain active during the
experiment.

After acquisition, finding the equivalence point can be easily done using processing tools such as derivative curve calculation and tangent method.

MPI Module
Ideal for studying numbering systems, analog/digital and digital/analog converters, and concepts of resolution and sampling frequency.

The MPI module offers 3 fully guided manipulations in compliance with the curriculum for independent student work.
1/ Measurement:
- Calculation of physical quantities from a sensor calibration curve and measured voltage on the board
- Acquisition of quantity over time.
Calibration curves for the 7 MPI sensors are provided.

2/ Analog-Digital Conversion:
- Visualization of the conversion of an analog voltage into a numerical value in bases 2, 10, and 16
- Discretization of a measured signal: choice of resolution and sampling frequency.

3/ Digital-Analog Conversion:
- Conversion of numerical values in bases 2, 10, and 16 and generation of a corresponding analog voltage
- Signal generation: ramp, sine wave, triangle with choice of period and resolution
- Simulation of analog-digital conversion by successive approximations or by ramp.

Natural Radioactivity Module
Ideal for measuring the natural radioactivity of radon, α emitter, studying the radioactive decay of radon 220, and the random nature of decay.

The natural radioactivity module specifically controls the natural radioactivity counter. This connects simply directly to the RS232 serial port of your computer. This module offers 3 guided manipulations for independent student work: radioactive decay of radon 220 or radon 222, statistical analysis of counts (Poisson's law) for a sample of radon 222, and measuring natural radioactivity Ω.

Spectro CCD Module
Ideal for studying the Beer-Lambert law, monitoring a chemical transformation, and determining the dominance domains of acidic and basic forms of a colored indicator.

With the CCD spectrophotometer, no need for a console. It connects directly to the computer via the RS232 serial port. Reliable and easy to use, its CCD sensor allows for quick acquisitions. The Spectro CCD module (included with the spectrophotometer) allows for making absorbance and transmission spectra from 440 to 800 nm, absorbance measurements at fixed wavelengths (simultaneous acquisition at 2 wavelengths possible), Beer-Lambert law A = f(c) study, colored indicators A = f(pH) study, and kinetics A = f(t) study.
The user is guided based on the type of acquisition they want to perform for independent work.
It provides powerful tools for further data processing: spreadsheet-grapher, modeling, curve calculations, parametric curves, lab report...

Spectrophotometer Module
Ideal for studying the Beer-Lambert law, monitoring a chemical transformation, and determining the dominance domains of acidic and basic forms of a colored indicator.

The spectrophotometer module is specifically designed for spectrophotometry measurements with the PrimLight' SECOMAM, Spectrawave S800WPA, and Spectrawave S1200WPA spectrophotometers. These spectrophotometers are all ergonomic and reliable laboratory devices, also usable autonomously with their display screen. They also have an RS232 digital output and connect to a computer via a specific cable (not provided).
The spectrophotometer module offers the same functionalities and guided setup as the Spectro CCD module. In addition to acquisition management, the user also has powerful tools for further data processing: spreadsheet-grapher, modeling, calculations, parametric curves, lab report...
