Bronkhorst FlowSuite is a software application for monitoring and configuration purposes on Bronkhorst digital instruments. It gives a good insight into the dynamic behaviour and features and allows you to adjust the controller, alarm, counter and other settings. FlowSuite is developed for easy configuration and control of Bronkhorst® products. This app is not intended to control critical processes but can be used to control and monitor research and pilot setups. For critical processes, it is recommended to use a dedicated process controller such as a PLC. Compared to the first release, Bronkhorst FlowSuite 2 is suited for the Bronkhorst product FLEXI-FLOW series.
