All new Sharetree chambers come with the latest SIMPLEtouch programmer as standard, at no extra cost.

SIMPLEtouch offers a user-friendly, touch-screen PC interface and a host of features that would normally be optional extras (such as temperature & humidity profiles, graphing and logging of data to file).

Unlike many competitor solutions, Sharetree’s SIMPLEtouch programmer uses standard, commercially available components to ensure maintainability during its lifetime.

SIMPLEtouch includes a host of features as standard including Graphing, Logging, Profiling and even Diagnostics on larger chambers

SIMPLEtouch provides a clear display and single button actions for most functions making it easy to use.
 

Profiles are easily created on the Profile Editor, which can be installed on any Windows PC for your comfort while editing.

The Profile Editor includes a graphical display to check your profile including showing nested loops.

Overview

The Sharetree SIMPLEtouch Chamber Programmer enables the temperature (and humidity where fitted) to be easily programmed and displayed on Sharetree test chambers.

The touch-screen window gives a clear, user-friendly interface with a constantly updated display of the current set and actual values for temperature and humidity. The standard 7” display can be upgraded to a desktop PC size if required, giving enhanced graphical capability. A Full Screen mode is also available.

SIMPLEtouch uses only commercially available components to ensure low cost of ownership over the lifetime of the chamber.

Graphs and Logging

The SIMPLEtouch Chamber Programmer has a comprehensive graphing facility for set and recorded actual readings including auto-scaling, zoom in/out, expand area and a cursor to check specific values on the graph. There is also a visual display of event statuses at the cursor position (i.e. Hum On/Off, Customer Event On/Off). The graphs may be displayed in Full Screen mode.

The data (including deviation alarm status) for both profiles and normal running can be logged to a .csv file (at adjustable intervals) and retrieved for viewing either on the SIMPLEtouch Programmer or in external software such as MS Excel. Inputs from up to 5 floating probes (optional) may be displayed and logged.

Programming

The Profile Editor allows the user to quickly generate or edit programs (off-line, if preferred) to control the chamber. Each profile is made of segments that hold the temperature/humidity, time values and customer event status. Ramp rates may be entered directly or as time-to-temperature. “Hold-back” can also be used, to ensure temperatures are reached before dwelling. An unlimited number of segments may be used, with Deviation alarms settable by segment.

Complex profiles can be quickly programmed using the loop-back facility, including nested loops. A large range of profiles can be stored on the Chamber Programmer. At the end of the program an “End” function can be used to dwell at a fixed temperature or to stop the chamber.

When running a profile on the SIMPLEtouch Chamber Programmer the total time remaining is displayed, a Hold function allows manual intervention and a Start At function allows the profile to be started mid run. The graph displays the complete profile and the recorded temperature/humidity so far.

Communications (inc. MODbus Interface)

The SIMPLEtouch Chamber Programmer can be remotely monitored or driven via its standard MODbus interface over TCP-IP (LAN) or RS232.

All chambers are fitted with a LAN & USB interfaces as standard.

Faults are quickly and easily identified on the latching alarm screen and logged for later analysis.
