Core OmniCTRL system

Features

• Intuitive software for Windows 11 and 10
• Multiple instruments connect to a single PC via Bluetooth, LAN, or USB
• Built-in protocol designer – save and load customized protocol files
• Excellent stability for long-term monitoring/logging/regulation
• Export time-stamped data in a .csv (Excel) file format or graphs as images

OmniCTRL is user-friendly software for Windows 11/10 that allows you to monitor, log, and regulate water quality parameters in a high number of independent tanks – all from a single PC. It is used with our OmniCTRL systems, and the software communicates seamlessly with required instruments for water parameter sensing, and pump/solenoid valve control for water parameter regulation.

OmniCTRL combines the functionality of the now discontinued WitroxCTRL and CapCTRL programs. You can now monitor, log, and regulate water quality parameters; temperature, oxygen, pH/CO₂, and salinity in each independent tank. And with required hardware, you can even combine different parameters, like temperature and oxygen, and include both 1-way (parameter level up OR down) and 2-way regulation (parameter level up AND down). This upgraded version also features several performance improvements and new protocol functionality.

You can create customized protocols for each water quality parameter. The protocol files can be saved and later loaded back into OmniCTRL to save time and for increased consistency of experiments. Each parameter can be controlled and regulated in a stepwise or sinusoid manner, e.g., to mimic natural fluctuations like diurnal changes in oxygen saturation or temperature.

OmniCTRL works with the German WTW instruments for sensing temperature, oxygen, pH/CO₂, and salinity. The WTW instruments are connected to your PC via USB. For pump and solenoid valve control, you can utilize the functionality of PowerX4. This industrial grade power strip connects to your PC wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via an LAN/ethernet cable. Finally, Witrox oxygen/temperature instrument owners can benefit from using their Witrox 1 and Witrox 4 in OmniCTRL for unbeaten accuracy and stability of oxygen and temperature data with zero sensor maintenance.

During an experiment, each logged parameter is displayed via real-time graphs for each connected sensing instrument. Each graph can be customized to your liking and exported to Excel or as an image. All logged data also be saved and exported as a .csv file for further analysis in software like Excel.

If you own a previous version of WitroxCTRL (1 or 2) or CapCTRL, you can get OmniCTRL at a reduced price by choosing the OmniCTRL upgrade.

This Class 1 Bluetooth 4.0 dongle for USB and external antennae doubles the wireless range of your (Class 2) PC system.

Use this industrial grade 4-fold power strip for software-driven control and monitoring of equipment via LAN/Ethernet or Bluetooth.

Connect pumps, solenoid valves, or stirrers to one of four independent electrical sockets switching at zero current (ZCS), e.g., for automated respirometry, water quality regulation, shuttle box experiments etc.

Electrical parameters like input voltage and power consumption (in Amps) for each relay, can be monitored and logged in Loligo^® software for diagnostics of connected appliances.

This SET comes with a pH 3310 instrument, serial interface, mobile case, SenTix 41 pH probe, and three buffer solutions (pH 4, pH 7, and KaCl).

FEATURES

• Regulate temperature levels in water tanks
• Sturdy and submersible water pump
• Heating coil for effective temperature regulation

This accessory set is used for regulation of water temperature. The sturdy submersible Eheim pump can be switched on/off using our PowerX4 Bluetooth/ethernet power strip. When activated, the Eheim pump forces water through the tubing and stainless-steel coil. Immerse the coil in chilled or heated water to change ambient water temperature.
