Software for Thermogravimeter

Software for thermogravimeter constructed at the Department of Inorganic Technology, University of Pardubice is presented in the paper. Used hardware and design of the experiment is described briefly. Main part of the paper focusses to the software solution in MATLAB environment. Except control, plotting and data exporting tasks it was necessary to communicate with Eurotherm nanodac Recorder / Controller through the TCP/IP Modbus protocol and with Sartorius weigh cell through the serial USB ASCII-based protocol. Simple example of Constant Rate Thermal Analysis experiment is given at the end of the paper.
