Software, SILAS™

Hardware-independent integration software. SILAS™ is designed to simplify the integration of laboratory automated systems and to streamline the addition of new components. SILAS™ works with SAMI® as a communication router, routing commands to and from the integrated devices. It allows SAMI® to provide consistent dialog screen for device control, while invisibly translating commands and data between SAMI® and the individual device's software. Works invisibly for the integrated system operator. Simplifies integration of devices (especially those devices that support COM-based protocols like ActiveX, OLE, and DDE) Routes communications to and from devices. Permits a consistent device control interface in SAMI®. Minimizes the time and cost of reconfiguring existing systems.
