■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1 Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Welcome to tiamo Introduction tiamo = titration and more tiamo is a control and database software for titrators, dosing devices and sample changers and makes complete laboratory automation possible. It is for that reason that the name tiamo stands for «titration and more» tiamo can do more than just titrate. tiamo is the successor software to TiNet and Workcell. Metrohm thus provides a uniform software product for laboratory automation.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1.4 Method editor 1.4 Method editor Introduction The new graphic method editor gets more out of your titration system. With the aid of the numerous templates, methods can be created fast and easily. For most routine and automated tasks, there are tried and tested methods available. Just a few clicks and they are adapted and ready to use. One new feature is that actions running parallel in terms of time can now be programmed and linked.
