Synergy Manager enables users to create test profiles directly on their PC. LED based controllers are often difficult to use for test profile creation. Their limited display capabilities lead to cryptic labels and confusing navigation processes. Using the Synergy Manager's graphic windows interface simplifies the test profile creation process. Every step is clearly displayed in one window. Step creation and data editing is one mouse click away. Profiles are generic and may be downloaded to any of the supported chambers.

After creating a test profile in the Profile Editor, you can view it in graph format by pressing the Graph button. The resulting graph displays the entire test run, including jump loops. With graphical analysis you can more clearly see exactly what your profile steps represent.

In addition to monitoring and control, the Synergy Manager employs a highly customizable Alert Notification System. Once enabled, any specified recipients are notified of all errors and alarms via email or fax. The alarms are separated into eight categories. The user can assign a different priority to each category. For example, you might want all chamber alarms to have a high priority and be emailed immediately upon the sounding of the alarm. However, for communications errors that may be caused by transient noise on the line, you may want to have set as a low priority. All low priority errors would then be compiled in a general report that is mailed out once a week. The exact definition of each priority level is also user definable: high, medium or low priority items can be specified as sent immediately, once an hour, once a day or once a week, at any specified time.
