Controllers and Software
ClimaPlus Touchscreen Controller
Easy to use touch-screen interface with graphical representation of programs and all environmental variables.
Controls every environmental variable available for any specific FitoClima model (Temperature, Humidity, Lights, Airflow, CO2, Dewing, Irrigation and connected external devices)
Friendly program editor for creating 32 programs of 24 segments each, allowing the design of complex and comprehensive climatic simulation programs
FitoLog Software
FitoLog: Displays and records in real time all the operating data and chamber details in a file. It also informs of any errors, alarms and allows the configuration of alerts, which may be sent by Email or SMS to report the condition of the equipment or warnings of alarms.
FitoLogView: A working tool to process the data retrieved with the FitoLog. You can view, print and export to other file types, and analyze the data in other programs (Excel, Access or others).
FitoProgram: This application allows the configuration of test programs on the computer and its upload/integration on the chamber controller trough a wireless or wired connection.
