The software from Weiss Technik for environmental simulation systems is even easier to handle in the new S!MPATI version 4.80. In particular, analyzing long measurement series has become simpler. Important for all interested in the software: Without purchase, S!MPATI works as a test version for six months without restrictions.

S!MPATI 4.80 enables simplified control and management of environmental simulation systems. A significant improvement for many users concerns the processing of measurement series with multiple connected archive files. The software can now open these archives collectively with a single click. This works with archive files of all program versions. Users thus have all data overviewed and do not need to evaluate the files one after the other. The collective opening of related archives is available for all environmental simulation systems from Weiss Technik. The Timelabs software is compatible with this new feature. This module displays camera recordings alongside the corresponding measurement data. Included in the package is S!MPATI online, which allows cross-site access to systems and reports.

S!MPATI introduces larger changes regarding software installation. The software now features an update wizard. It checks whether all settings from the older installation can be transferred to the new version. This way, the user knows whether the software will be configured as before or if adjustments are needed. Additionally, users can now install multiple versions of S!MPATI in parallel. This provides the security of being able to revert to an older software version if needed. S!MPATI 4.80 is also a six-month unrestricted trial version. This allows interested parties to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the software and experience its benefits for daily work firsthand.

Furthermore, S!MPATI offers a range of other improvements. For example, the software optionally displays individual data points instead of the measurement curve. Users can annotate the graphs with comments. In addition to the date-based analysis, a runtime-based evaluation is now available. Moreover, the software now also supports the OPC-UA standard. This is an advanced architecture for exchanging machine data, which is gaining increasing importance in the era of Industry 4.0.
