CHAPTER V - COMMUNICATIONS
The CHEMTROL® PC controller features remote operation
with PC-compatible computer using the CHEMCOM
™
software program for Windows.
The CHEMCOM
™
program is a proprietary program that
allows true duplex operation. This means that any action on
the remote computer is immediately implemented on the
screen of the controller, and vice versa.
