GRAMS/AI

GRAMS/AI is the choice for spectral data processing, visualisation and reporting

GRAMS/AI is a comprehensive software package for processing, visualizing, and reporting data from multiple spectroscopic instruments. Spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used in many scientific fields. However, analyzing spectroscopic data can be a time-consuming and challenging task. GRAMS/AI is a revolutionary software that streamlines and automates spectroscopic analysis, making it faster and more accurate than ever before. GRAMS/AI has advanced processing, data comparison and visualization capabilities and the ability to process data from almost all analytical instruments that have established industry standards in scientific procedures.

Overview

What is GRAMS/AI?

GRAMS AI Assistant

A single data management tool for multiple instruments

GRAMS/AI can process data from almost all types of analytical instruments, such as optical spectroscopy (FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, NIR, UV-Vis, fluorescence), NMR and combined techniques (LC / GC-MS, LC-PDA). The software provides several methods for accessing data. Using unique SmartConvert technology, all GRAMS applications are compatible with data files from hundreds of different instruments.
GRAMS AI can also directly acquire data from several instruments via its unique My Instrument plug-in interface. GRAMS/AI includes capabilities for interchanging data with Microsoft Excel, real-time visualization of large data sets with GRAMS/3D, and access data from other GRAMS Suite applications such as Spectral DB workgroup databases Spectral ID spectral search libraries.

Workspace Interface

GRAMS/AI offers a simple, intuitive user interface with features that benefit both new and experienced users. The software enables users to navigate through open data files quickly, expose important file information, access parameter settings, and customize the workspace, all with a click of the mouse. With GRAMS/AI, users can create customized environments for viewing, reporting, and processing their data.

Multi-page workbooks store specific data display preferences; workbook pages or even entire workbooks can be automated to perform specific functions or process data. Workbooks allow the insertion of drawing objects, including annotations, lines, and arrows. Use the included Design Science Equation Editor to add mathematical formulas (or step up to Design Science’s MathType). Add buttons directly to the workspace and link them to macros or other common functions to create a custom working environment. An integrated Toolbar Builder makes it easy to add buttons for one-click access to frequently used applications or display modes. All user configurations can be stored in a Workbook file which can be used repeatedly with different data sets.

Customization and Programming

With GRAMS/AI, you can create your own custom data processing applications. The integrated Macro Wizard allows linking of existing routines together with no formal programming to accommodate repetitive experimental needs. Advanced users can take advantage of the embedded Array Basic™ programming language to develop customized routines to solve virtually any analytical problem.

Instrument Control

GRAMS/AI can interface directly with instruments for full control and data acquisition via the embedded My Instrument interface. Any spectrometer with a My Instrument driver can be directly connected to GRAMS AI. My Instrument is a COM+ standard for instrument interfacing, and several spectrometer vendors now offer My Instrument drivers for their instrumentation. For more details, click here.
