Section 7 Frequently Asked Questions
Do you plan to support other instruments with serial interfaces not manufactured by
Pharma Test?
We currently have no plans to support other instruments than those manufactured by
Pharma Test.
Do you plan to support Pharma Test instruments that transmit data via a parallel
interface instead of a serial interface?
Yes, we plan to offer support for these instruments via a custom parallel to serial adapter.
This adapter is currently in development and is planned to release in the second quarter
of 2023. This adapter will support these instruments:
▪ PT-LT leak tester, test report
▪ PTB 111E tablet hardness testers, test report for A4 printers
▪ PTB 311E tablet hardness testers, test report for A4 printers
▪ PTZ AUTO tablet disintegration testers, test report for A4 printers
Can I connect a printer directly to PT-Node?
No, PT-Node does not offer this functionality due to technical limitations. The intended
use case is to connect via a network or direct ethernet connection to PT-Node using a web
browser and to print from there using the standard printing functionalities of your
operating system.
Why did you select .csv-text files as the default method of data export?
.csv-text files are widely used and simple to implement for both sides - the exporting, and
the importing system.
What about security of these files?
By default, these text files are not encrypted. However, access to these files on PT-Node
is password protected. In case an external system imports these files by moving or
copying then to another location, access to this location should be protected as well. This
way the data is secured. A standard operator without access to these passwords does not
have the ability to manipulate any data through the web interface of PT-Node. Data can
only be viewed, not changed or deleted.
In case encryption of the files is required please contact us with your requirements. If
encryption should be used this has to be synchronized between PT-Node and the external
software that should decrypt the files. We are happy to quote for the service of
implementing encryption for the files.
