Instrumental parts
User interface provided touch screen functionalities and optional possibilities to use external mouse/keyboard connected with the instrument via
USB port, at the same time user interface may be use large external LCD, connected direct to instrument. The BPA2S uses modern high quality electronic and
mechanic components. This results in a better measurement
accuracy and measurement stability.

The instrument allows the following measurements
- surface tension of liquids
- density estimation
Main features of the software
BPA2S operated as stand-alone instrument. All instrument’s functions are supported without external PC connections. As user interface a touch screen provides functionalities and optional possibilities to use external mouse/keyboard connected with the instrument via USB port. USB-2 interface allows storing the measurement data on a USB. An Ethernet interface allows connection of the instrument directly to a local net. The instrument control from a PC via local net or internet is possible.
