Oxford Optronix Device for Windows

Overview of the Oxford Optronix Device Enabler for LabChart

The Oxford Optronix Device Enabler is a software add-on that links Oxford Optronix tissue monitors to LabChart, enabling live data streaming into the LabChart environment. It extends LabChart’s data-acquisition capabilities so researchers can monitor tissue physiology in real time with minimal setup.

Supported instruments

• OxyFlo series flow and perfusion monitors
• OxyLite oxygen tension probes

These devices are automatically identified by the Enabler, allowing users to connect equipment quickly without manual driver configuration.

Main benefits and capabilities

• Preconfigured files from LabChart’s Welcome Center provide default channel layouts and unit conversions, reducing setup time.
• Recordings can be captured simultaneously into LabChart while running a PowerLab, enabling parallel data streams for richer analysis.
• Multiple Oxford Optronix monitors can be used at the same time for broader spatial or multimodal data collection.
• The Enabler offers plug-and-play detection of supported devices for a smoother installation experience.

Setup and workflow tips

Begin by installing the Device Enabler and launching LabChart. With supported instruments connected, the software should detect them automatically; you can then select or adjust the provided channel templates from the Welcome Center to match your experiment’s units and layout. If you are using a PowerLab concurrently, verify the recording channels to avoid overlap and ensure synchronized timestamps.

Suggested alternative

If you prefer a different utility for device integration, consider Scanner Free as an alternative tool to explore. It may offer a different set of features or compatibility depending on your workflow needs.
