Instrument
Database Specification Fields Upon
selection of a specific instrument in the instrument database menu, you
will be directed to the database instrument specification fields.
More than 40 instrument specification fields are listed in a vertical
format and are alternately highlighted in color for ease in viewing direct
specification comparisons. The following example displays the first
few rows of five different instruments but you can select the number of
instruments per page you would like to view.

Specification Field Definitions
Each
instrument specification field definition can be viewed by hovering over
the 'question mark' symbol (?) located to the left side of the
specification field name. The definition will appear in a pop-up
window.

Sorting Specification Fields
Clicking on a specification field name sorts the selected
instruments to be sorted by the specification field in either ascending or
descending order as indicated by a small up or down arrow that appears
next to the field name.

Search
Capabilities
The search
capabilities of the database are extensive. On the View page, a
simple search feature with a drop down menu is available. This
feature allows one field to be searched throughout the database.

Advanced Search
The advanced search feature allows multiple specification
field searches.

Comparison
Feature
After
an instrument search is completed, a compare feature can be used to narrow
the view of specifications for up to five selected instruments so that
direct comparisons can be made.
