1.4 Method editor
Introduction
The new graphic method editor gets more out of your titration system.
With the aid of the numerous templates, methods can be created fast and
easily. For most routine and automated tasks, there are tried and tested
methods available. Just a few clicks and they are adapted and ready to use.
One new feature is that actions running parallel in terms of time can now
be programmed and linked. Now a sample can be prepared with the new
Titrando System and the Robotic Sample Processors while the previous one
is being titrated. This saves time and increases sample throughput. The
crowning feature is the simultaneous processing of several samples at once.
This means that one Titrando can carry out two titrations at the same time.
As a result, sample throughput is doubled!
tiamo is flexible and accommodates itself to analysis procedures, and not
the other way around.

1.5 Database
Introduction
tiamo is based on an object-oriented database, that has proven itself in
practice. In the configuration database, all program settings, user admin-
istration, methods and templates are stored and in the determination
databases defined by the user, the determination data. These databases
can be installed locally on the computer reserved for measurements and
make up a simple measurement system. tiamo is however scalable and
grows with operational requirements. As soon as data security and central
data management make it necessary, tiamo is installed as a Client/Server
configuration. The tiamo database is then installed on a server. All meas-
urement and office computers work as clients. All results are stored centrally
