Intuitive software that guides the user

The dpiMAX software makes measuring with DataPhysics Instruments systems easier and more convenient than ever. Initially, the device settings are checked by the user, the desired measurement method is selected and then the measurement is started immediately.

The dpiMAX software has a clearly structured user interface that guides users through all measurement and evaluation processes using clear graphical elements. The next step is always just a click away.

dpiMAX is software that can be tailored to your individual requirements. You can select your preferred language, zoom the user interface to the optimal size for your screen, and work with the substance names commonly used in your laboratory. dpiMAX is compatible with Windows 11.

The software guides the operator through the measurement process and only shows the information necessary for the task at hand.

Simple operation and powerful capabilities

dpiMAX is a software that can be used by anyone, regardless of their level of expertise. Beginners can be easily guided through the measurement process and only the most important settings are shown to them. Experienced scientists, on the other hand, benefit from the ability to set and save many parameters for complex measurements as repeatable procedures.

In addition, dpiMAX can perform predefined procedures as simple, one-click measurements. This is particularly helpful for users who need to perform repetitive measurements. Thus, dpiMAX optimally meets the requirements of a wide range of user groups.

Intelligent and helpful additional functions

The dpiMAX software does much more than perform basic tasks such as controlling the measuring device and executing analysis algorithms. It is also designed to support users with intelligent functions and guide them optimally through the entire measurement process. This includes operating the measuring device and its modular components, performing the measurement itself, analysing the collected data and reporting the results.

With intelligent prompts, dpiMAX helps users ensure measurements are both accurate and reproducible. This includes providing reminders about necessary information regarding material specifications.

All data securely stored

Whenever the user performs a measurement or analysis with dpiMAX, the generated data is automatically and securely stored in a well-organised database. This data can be easily and conveniently accessed by the user using the Xplorer.

Saved results can be opened in Xplorer for graphical display and comparison, as well as for adding further measurements or analysis. It is, of course, also possible to import and export measurement and analysis data, as well as images and videos. dpiMAX offers a particularly useful function for clearly presenting measurement results graphically: images and videos can be exported together with the evaluation lines and labels generated by the software.

Additional measurements can be dragged into a surface energy evaluation and the easy-to-read colour-code gives an immediate indication of the results’ robustness.

dpiMAX – The Software Companion for Contact Angle Meters of the OCA series

The dpiMAX software for the OCA series of contact angle meters helps users work efficiently by displaying only the information relevant to the current task. During a measurement, the drop image and results table are displayed alongside a custom control panel containing only the settings and device controls necessary for the current measurement method.

Determine surface energy

The determination of surface energy is significantly accelerated with predefined one-click measurements. Ten different calculation methods are available for surface energy analysis.

Live evaluation of the drop contour

The optical evaluation of the drop contour using dpiMAX is quick, dependable and straightforward. As soon as a drop is dispensed, or lands on a solid surface, the drop contour is automatically detected. The software then immediately calculates the surface tension of the pendant drop or the contact angle of the sessile drop, displaying the result directly in the camera window.

However, live evaluation is not the only way to analyse samples with dpiMAX. Users can also record the entire measurement as a video and evaluate it later, or save it for future use. This method is particularly useful when the liquid is quickly absorbed or evaporates. Even if the user forgets to start recording, their measurement is not lost thanks to dpiMAX's instant replay function. This means that the software automatically saves the last few seconds of the camera image and allows the user to rewind to a specific point in the video if necessary. Therefore, even if an important moment is missed, it can still be analysed afterwards.

Measurement methods for the OCA series

The following measurement methods are available in the dpiMAX software for the OCA series of contact angle meters. DataPhysics Instruments offers a total of 18 different methods of measurement using the OCA, including:

  • Static Contact Angle
  • Dynamic Contact Angle
  • Surface/Interfacial Tension
  • Dynamic Pendant Drop
  • Surface Energy of Solids
  • Sample Mapping

Pre-defined one-click measurements speed up the process of determining the surface energy significantly.
