A comprehensive instruction and laboratory teaching manual describing the apparatus, method of conducting experiments and analysis of data and results will be supplied along with the equipment. Optional: ‘Sci-Cal’ Computer Control Software & Interface ‘Sci-Cal’ software & hardware has been designed for use with more than 600 ‘Sci-tech’ trainers. ‘Sci-Cal’ comes in a module that can be fitted or mounted on the Sci-tech trainers very easily. ‘Sci-Cal’ box has 11 inches front HMI interactive panel, inside are i3 processor computer with it’s own hard drive & software processor with 16 to 32 analog and 16 to 32 digital signal data-loggers. The ‘LabVIEW’ processes the input signal with in-built data and formulae to tabulate results for the Sci-tech trainers. ‘Sci-Cal’ box has HDMI output for connection to a projector or an electronic whiteboard or a monitor. ‘Sci-Cal’ box has input ports for inputs from the Sci-tech trainer sensors. ‘Sci-Cal’ eliminates requirement of external computer.   Services required Electrical Supply, 220-240 V, 50Hz earthed single-phase. Overall dimensions H = 1660 mm, W = 1200 mm, D = 650 mm. The manual describing the theoretical and practical aspects of the apparatus, operation, analysis of results, and sample of results will be supplied with the equipment.
