FossManager is used for configuration of the ISIscan Nova user interface
determining what is available for the routine analysis operations:
• Active Products / Calibrations
• Operation profiles (e.g., which cup type to use for different products and
calibrations)
• Calculated parameters
• Icons, parameter names and units
• Mandatory and/or optional sample information fields
• Report templates
• Slope/Intercept and Moisture Compensation settings
FossManager can also be used for networking one or several instruments with
communication to/from a FossConnect server. The FossConnect server then also
has the function as a backup of all data, results and configurations.
Connecting instruments to one or multiple FossConnect servers enables remote
management of all configurations above as well as remote surveillance and
troubleshooting.
An instrument can be connected to a FossConnect server and at the same time run
local calibration models which are then administrated locally.
The two scenarios are elaborated below.
• The Routine Operator operates NIRS DS3 / DS3 F via ISIscan Nova software.
• One PC is used for both ISIscan Nova and Local configurator software. This
PC also contains the backup of data and configuration settings.
• Local Configurator connects to one single instrument.
