WATER-PAM-II instruments can be operated in stand-alone mode or externally controlled by WinControl-3 software. Saturation pulse analysis, automated experimental protocols and analysis of algae composition can be performed. In the field the sun readable touchscreen provides experimental control as well as graphical and numerical data display. Continuous recording of fluorescence, modelling of light curves and recalculation of algae composition with new references requires WinControl-3 software.
The WinControl-3 software represents the latest version of the WinControl software family. Presently, WinControl-3 operates the MONITORING-PAM, MINI-PAM-II, DIVING-PAM-II, WATER-PAM-II, JUNIOR-PAM fluorometers, PAM-CONTROL operated instruments (WATER-PAM FIBER Version, MICROSCOPY-PAM and MICROFIBER-PAM) as well as the Universal Light Meter ULM-500.
