Bowman, a manufacturer of XRF quality control instruments, announced a landmark software release that immediately improves the speed, accuracy, and ease of use for companies that require precise control and documentation of plated deposit thicknesses.
Archer is a successor to Bowman’s Xralizer, a software that pioneered several important features, including a multi-method auto-focus, a workflow optimizer, and the ability to focus on highly reflective surfaces where laser or image sharpness methods are unworkable.
Like its predecessor, Archer is universal across the full suite of eight Bowman XRF benchtop XRF analyzers. An all-new Graphical User Interface makes the software easy to learn and use, highly intuitive, and visually ergonomic. A tasking feature allows users to program custom steps for execution while the software is running – a huge time-saver. Pattern matching for datum points, high-speed Z-axis adjustability, and real-time measurement updating are other key features, along with the ability to view the calibration curve and recalibrate - both in analysis mode.
Archer generates customizable Excel reports with no MS Office required, and unlike competitive platforms, there is no need to install a software plug-in to export data to customer EAP systems.
Archer was designed to support robotic sample handling. Files from Xralizer can be imported for a seamless upgrade. Archer is a 64-bit application. A 32-bit build for RoHS users is also available.
Bowman is a leading manufacturer of precision XRF plating measurement systems, with a robust local service network that provides same-day response for every benchtop XRF requirement worldwide. Equipment evaluation, selection, commissioning, maintenance, and modernization are provided for users of all Bowman instruments, as well as other major XRF brands.
