An inkjet printer with rechargeable battery and wireless connection to the SPECTRO xsort for printouts anywhere is available as an option.
#Xsort test software#
The analytical results are stored and can be later displayed, printed and, after transfer to an external computer, processed with the Result Manager software delivered with the instrument. A quick sorting mode is available in addition to the analysis mode where all test pieces are compared to the first sample measured. The Analysis screen supplies the operator with all of the necessary information at a single glance and can display the measurement results in different views. The comprehensive monitoring and control system, ICAL (Intelligent Calibration Logic), with diagnostic functions for hardware and software ensures that the instrument is always in a fault free, ready-to-measure state.

SPECTRO XRF Analyzer CE The SPECTRO XRF Analyzer CE instrument software based on Windows Mobile offers a simple interface for operation of the SPECTRO xsort in spite of numerous configuration possibilities. Data can also be transferred to other computers using the memory card. External Contact Connection with external devices, such as a printer or a computer can be realized with the integrated USB connection, a WLAN connection or Bluetooth.

With the Bluetooth technology used, it remains connected with the instrument. If, for certain test conditions, it is difficult to read, it can be easily removed. Mounted at 45 degrees it is optimally readable. Instrument status at all times.2 SPECTRO xsort: Software PDA: For Everything The PDA integrated onto the back of the SPECTRO xsort is operated with a stylus or a finger on the touch screen. The rear side of the shutter is also used for regular control sample measurements.Īccording to Freit, âThe ICAL calibration logic measures the contents of the shutter as required, in order to guarantee the optimum

With two rechargeable batteries included in the scope of delivery, the xSORT is always ready for a full day`s work â testing doesnât need to be interrupted because of a drained battery.įor safe operation, the Spectro xSORT has an automatic shutter that closes the measuring window preventing radiation from escaping and dirt from entering the instrument. The xSORT is equipped with long-life rechargeable batteries that provide for 3.5 hours ofĬontinuous operation. A protective cover safeguards the instrument from the weather. The chemical contents are immediately and clearly displayed on the integrated PDA.ĭesign and technology of the xSORT are oriented towards operation in industrial environments: Rechargeable battery and PDA are integrated into the robust housing, making them impact resistant. The user simply holds the measuring window of the xSORT onto the metal sample and presses the start button. Operation of the xSORT is simple and intuitive: The handheld XRF uses a universal calibration so that the onsite operator is not required to make any changes to any settings. The instrument requires only 10 seconds to differentiate between aluminum and magnesium alloys.

In addition, the SDD detector enables the identification and determination of the light elements: Al, Mg, Si and P can be measured in an air atmosphere without the need for helium or a vacuum system. This allows the Spectro xSORT to determine 41 elements, between magnesium and thorium, in a single measuring cycle of two seconds.

A low power X-ray tube with 40 kV serves as the excitation source. This processes signals approximately ten times faster than the silicon pin detectors used in conventional handheld XRF instruments.

As the first handheld XRF instrument from Spectro, the xSORT closes the last gap in our product portfolio and completes the range of mobile metal analysers.âĪ specially developed silicon drift detector (SDD) forms the heart of the Spectro xSORT. âThe xSORT analyses metal alloys much faster than comparable products from the competition. All of our experience has flowed into the development of the Spectro xSORT,â explains Marcus Freit, Product Manager for the mobile metal analysers. ÂSpectro has been a market leading supplier of mobile metal analysers for the last 30 years and technology leader in the laboratory ED-XRF analyser market for the last 15. The Spectro xSORT has been designed for the petro-chemical industries, where regular control of pipelines and plant infrastructure is a must. The light (1.7 Kg, 3.7 lbs.) and super-fast metal analyser measures all of the elements, non-destructively, in a metal alloy in only two seconds. Spectro Analytical Instruments (Germany) presents the new Spectro xSORT handheld XRF spectrometer.
