A brief description

Calisto has been developed to offer advanced treatment of thermoanalytical data independent of its source. Installation takes only a few seconds, and as it does not write to the registry files can be completed rapidly without IT departmental overview.

This new software offers a comprehensive list of functions, and can treat any Thermal Analysis data and so can become the standard within your thermal lab.

These functions include the ability drag and drop experimental curves, or to import data from other manufacturers by reading ASCII files. When examining the data, Calisto features a unique treeview that allows for intuitive switching between multiple open graphs. Axis scrolling, panning or magnifying glass functionality and functions such as data trimming and unit transformation that can be achieved in the minimum number of clicks. The Slope Correction feature is part of the advanced baseline treatment which includes sigmoid, straight or spline. Single click calculations include, Tg (Glass Transition) Integration and Inverse filtering. Exporting data in formats such as ASCII or exporting curves directly into Word using multiple graphic formats is a single mouse click.

Complex data treatment such as Signal interpolation, Derivative, different types of Savitzky-Golay smoothing (between chosen ranges with special treatment for flat or peak zones), Peak separation with asymmetric Gaussian functions, Cp determination (continuous or step method with or without reference) are all possible in less three clicks or less.

Calisto Software can also import signal files from other devices (Mass spectrometers, FTIR, ...) and provide unique facilities for manipulating experiments (archiving / restore / deletion). In addition the software is fully FAD CFR21 Chapter 11 compliant with multiple user hierarchy and access to ensure data integrity.

The Calisto Processing software is intended to :

  • Import signal files of any type of thermoanalytical data: DSC, nanoDSC, microDSC, C-80, DTA, TGA, TG-MS or TG-FTIR, HFC, TMA, etc. ;
  • Import signal files from other devices (Mass spectrometers, FTIR, ...) ;
  • Treat recorded signals ;
  • Provide facilities for manipulating experiments (archiving / restore / deletion).

Calisto Processing - Thermal Analaysis Software

  • Calisto is a NEW software developed for the elaboration of thermoanalytical signals obtained e.g. from DSC, TGA or Calorimetry.
  • Calisto is designed for the advanced treatment of any Thermoanalytical Data independent of the instrument type and manufacturer.
  • This new software offers a comprehensive list of numerical methods. They have been optimized to be as automated as possible, therefore the data interpretation can be completed in a few clicks by even the most inexperienced operators.
  • Installation takes only a few seconds, and as it is not written into the registry files, it can be completed rapidly without IT overview.

Highlights

Interface and Data Presentation

Calisto offers a powerful graphical user interface that is ergonomically designed with all the tools required being instantly accessible. Switching between open curves requires only one click, all necessary key buttons are located in the tool bar. These buttons are clearly labelled and identifiable.

Calisto Advanced DSC Treatment

Calisto offers the operator a unique level of power and flexibility to present the data with the maximum impact, including the following features :

  • Selection of Colors: Calisto offers coloring, shading and transparency, also the ability to select the patterns ;
  • Overlaping data: multiple curves can be displayed with the same, or different axis, with chosen specific colors and patterns ;
  • Data labelling: marking each curve, or highlighting a specific area with customized labels and text. The data in each label can be automatically generated in standard report formats.

Baseline Selection / Subtraction

The correct baseline selection is one of the most critical parts of data treatment and Calisto offers a new standard in the baseline determination and treatment. Standard baseline treatments are also accessible, but the software offers the more precise options for the treatment of the data.

  • Baseline Flattening: sloping baselines due to Cp changes and other effects can be flattened ;
  • Baselines selection: can be done automatically and optimized visually using the zoom functionality.

Peak Deconvolution / Separation

Calisto offers a unique peak separation procedure that allows for the interpretation of overlapped processes and characterization of the individual thermal events.

Data Import / Export

The Calisto Processing software is intended to :

  • Import the signal files of any type of thermoanalytical data: DSC, nanoDSC, microDSC, C-80, DTA, TGA, TG-MS or TG-FTIR, HFC, TMA, etc. ;
  • Import the signal files from other devices (Mass spectrometers, FTIR, ...) ;
  • Provide facilities for handling experimental data (archiving / restore / deletion).

Calisto offers the most easy-to-use and powerful data export tool

  • for graphical data (png, gif, bmp, jpg, emf…)
  • for raw and calculated points (xls, ascii, html, xml,…)

Cp determination

Calisto offers two powerful Cp calculations subroutines for the determination of heat capacity. These methods have been optimized to be as automated as possible, therefore the data interpretation can be completed in a few clicks by even the most inexperienced operators.
