A customized vacuum deposition system requires customized software to control the hardware, to acquire the data, and to interface with existing laboratory equipment. For every system we build, we work with you to design a software package that meets your needs, current and future. We use the flexible LabVIEW™ platform with a programmable logic controller (PLC) to create a customized user environment that is built on a standardized foundation, while also enabling users to adapt the controls and data acquisition as future requirements and capabilities are needed.
