J457 Computer Bridge

Many users are happy to use their own computer to control laboratory equipment. It does not suit all applications, but it does offer some advantages:

  • A PC that is made by the millions to a commercial standard, is always going to be much cheaper than a controller made by the hundreds to an industrial standard.
  • It allows the users IT department greater control over updates, exporting and backups

The CB can be added to all OM versions of the J457; this includes the EP (picturedabove), DP, CP and CC.

There are two versions of the Computer Bridge. CB allows the optics of the J series refractometer to be operated from an external PC using Windows 10 or later. CBS provides the same function, and includes a Microsoft Surface.
