2 Technical Description
2.1 History
The Infratec 1241 was first launched in the year 2000. It was then equipped with a
black & white display and a diskette drive as means of importing and exporting data
to the instrument. These instruments are now referred to as Generation 1.
In 2007 the Infratec 1241 was hardware and software wise redesigned. It was then
equipped with a color display and USB ports for importing and exporting data. The
"Basic concept" was also introduced which made it possible to limit the amount of
calibrations on the instrument and thus reduce the selling price. These instruments
are now referred to as Generation 2.
In 2010 the exterior was redesigned to match the EyeFoss image analyzer design.
Few internal parts where altered. These instruments are now referred to as
Generation 3.
The Infratec 1256 is electronically and technology wise almost identical to the 1241.
Over the years different hardware and software features have been continuously
introduced, e.g. TCP/IP, calculated constituents. Many of these can be added to older
instruments. Upgrade of ISW is always free of charge.
