WinControl-3 Software

General Features and Graphical User Interface

The MICROFIBER-PAM can be operated by Windows computers running the WinControl-3 software. The same software operates the fluorometers DIVING-PAM-II, MICRO-PAM, MINI-PAM-II, MONITORING-PAM, and JUNIOR-PAM, PAM fluorometers operated via the PAM-CONTROL interface (MICROSCOPY-PAM, MICROFIBER-PAM and WATER-PAM FIBER-Version) as well as the Universal Light Meter ULM-500.

Induction Curve Window: The window displays continuous PAM fluorescence (Ft) as black line. The non-photochemical quenching parameter, NPQ, is drawn in blue and electron transport rate (ETR) is shown in red.
Light Curve Window: Fluorescence data are plotted against PAR. Red points represent ETR data to which the light curve model “REG1” was fitted by WinControl-3 (dark red curve). Using green color, the panel displays three types of photosystem II quantum yields: the yield for photochemistry (Y(II), steeply declining), for uncontrolled heat dissipation (Y(NO), gradually declining), and the yield for controlled heat dissipation (Y(NPQ), rising).
Report Window: The window lists for each saturation pulse analysis date, time, the fluorescence levels, F and Fm’, PAR, Y(II) and ETR. Lines 6 to 18 are data of a light response curve. The cardinal values of this curve are highlighted.
Batch File Window: Batch files execute experiments automatically. Create batch files using the commands provided by drop-down menus (Present command is “Switch on actinic light”. To write to the batch file, successively click: Edit > Add command > Light sources > Actinic light ON). Also create batch files using the Macro recorder of WinControl-3.

WinControl-2 Software

General Features and Graphical User Interface

The software WinControl-2 was developed for on-line operation via the interface PAM-CONTROL of the fluorometers MICROSCOPY-PAM, MICROFIBER-PAM, and WATER-PAM FIBER Version. WinControl-2 logs fluorescence data and automatically calculates fluorescence ratio parameters derived from saturation pulse analysis.

The WinControl-2 software runs only on Windows 7 32 bit or older Windows 32 bit operating systems.
