We have added a number of new features to AKTAKOM Power Manager 21 Pro, trying to keep it simple and easy to use.

Template management

AKTAKOM laboratory power supplies can supply current with arbitrary parameters precisely set by the user, but in practice a number of parameters with fixed values are most often used - 1.5 Volts, 3.3, 9, 12 ... In APM21 Pro, you can make a list of your "favorite" values in advance voltage and current and then set them to the device with one click.

Command list management

Another important property of our power supplies is the ability to dynamically change the current output parameters. APM21 Pro can do this automatically. Set a list of commands to the device in advance, specifying the necessary parameters and time, save the list to a file and run it for automatic execution when you need it.

Customizable user interface

In addition to additional ways to control the device, the main window of the program also has a graph displaying the history of measurements received from the device. All this may seem redundant and cluttering for someone who plans to use the source for simple standard tasks. In this case, you can customize the user interface in a way that is convenient for you: hide and collapse all the blocks you don’t need with special buttons and leave only the ones you need.

Saving data

If your lab's power supply is used for research, you may need to review instrument operation later. Therefore, we saved the history of events (displayed in the Protocol window) and measurement data (displayed on the graph in the main window) to a file.

File .dll for APS-3xxx series power supplies has the name APS3310L.dll. The .dll file is initially located in the installer archive and when installing the SDK it is installed not in the SDK folder, but in the Windows system folder, usually it is C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

This may occur if your mobile device doesn’t have a user account on Google Play. The license approval is impossible on such a device and therefore the application gets closed.

The environment meter records data to the memory card in *.xls format. All of the data can be copied to the PC after the measurement process.

Aktakom Data Logger Monitor (ADLM-W) software can be used for the measurement data transmission (using Aktakom ACE-1025 interface converter) that means for online monitoring only.

The programm displays the temperature in those units set in the device. The device settings procedure can be checked in the User Manual. As usual the settings can be changed as follows (we take Aktakom ATE-5035BT humidity/temperature meter as an example):

• Before changing the measurement unit you need to deactivate 2 functions: “Hold of the current value” and “Max/Min value”.
• Keep “SET” button pressed for minimum 2 sec. until you see “Code” symbol at the bottom of the LCD.
• Release “SET” button, you will see “1000” displayed at the top.
• After you see both “Code” and “1000” symbols press “ENTER” to activate the function of the measurement unit change. “ESC” button will return the device to the standard measurement mode.
• Using “SET” button set “°F”. Then press “FUNCTION” button to change the measurement unit. If you see “0” displayed at the top after you pressed “FUNCTION” the measurement unit will be “°C”. If after pressing “FUNCTION” there is “1” symbol displayed that means the measurement unit will be “°F”.
• After you set the required measurement unit press “ENTER” in order to confirm and save the setting. “ESC” button will return the device to the initial state.
