GRAMS/AI - a comprehensive
spectral data processing, visualization and reporting application
GRAMS/AI
is a comprehensive data processing, visualization and reporting package
which forms the core of the GRAMS Spectroscopy Software
Suite (GRAMS). Its advanced processing routines, data comparison
and visualization features and its ability to handle data from virtually
any analytical instrument have set the industry standard in scientific
software.
A single data handling tool for multiple instruments
GRAMS/AI can work with data from nearly any kind of analytical instrument
including optical spectroscopy (FTIR, Raman, NIR, UV-Vis, Fluorescence),
NMR, and hyphenated techniques (LC/GC-MS, LC-PDA). The software provides
multiple methods for accessing data including directly loading data files
created by instrument control applications using the GRAMS Suite SmartConvert™
technology, which automatically recognizes hundreds of different file
formats.
GRAMS/AI can also directly acquire data from a number of 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 can access data from other GRAMS Suite applications such as Spectral
DB workgroup databases and 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
quickly navigate through open data files, 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 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 over and over again
with different data sets.
Powerful Data Processing
An extensive library of built-in data processing routines provides users
with tools to analyse virtually any type of instrument data. From simple
data smoothing to advanced peak fitting to tools for specific instrument
types, GRAMS/AI tracks all file changes in the data set’s Audit
Trail section, providing results with confidence.
GRAMS
now includes all the following Application Packs as standard:
- Standard Data Processing Library: performs
baseline correction (multi-point, polynomial fit), peak fitting (Gaussian,
Lorentzian, Voigt and other functions), smoothing, derivatives, automatic
spectral subtraction, spectral unit conversion and more.
- IR/Raman Application Pack: includes ATR
pathlength correction, Interferogram compute, Kramers-Kronig transform,
Raman shift correction and a CCD spectrometer calibration routine.
- UV/VIS/NIR Application Pack: performs popular
colorimetric analyses such as L*A*B and L*U*V using all standard CIE
illuminants.
- NMR Application Pack: provides 1D NMR data
processing; includes a unique one-step routine that can perform a complete
data work-up on FID signals including FFT, phase, integrate and peak
identification.
- Chromatography Application Pack: allows
you to build chromatographic analysis methods; includes peak picking
and identification, model calibration and quantitation.
- GC-MS Application Pack: analyses data from
GC-MS experiments; features include calculating and comparing single
and total ion chromatograms, automatic peak identification and spectral
library searching (using the Spectral
ID GRAMS Suite application).
Customisation 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 customised routines to solve virtually any analytical
problem.
Instrument Control
GRAMS/AI can interface directly to instruments for full control and data
acquisition via the embedded My Instrument interface. Any spectrometer
that has a My Instrument driver available can be directly connected to
GRAMS/AI. My Instrument is a COM+ standard for instrument interfacing,
and a number of spectrometer vendors now offer My Instrument drivers for
their instrumentation. For more details, click
