or higher. (Mac version is also now available)
Changes from v1.2e:
Distillation Equipment setup.
Electrochemical cell setup (Available in registered versions only).
Eye Dropper.
Hotplate with Magnetic Stirrer.
Conductivity Meter (Available in registered versions only).
Metal Wire for Flame Lab Experiment (Available in registered versions
only).
Printer Options to allow user to print out selected instructions or Lab
Space.
Indicators option for Wizard created Labs.
RTF Windows now support OLE embedded objects, such as bitmaps and
spreadsheets.
Enlarged Chemical Database.
Various bug fixes.
Installing ChemLab:
ChemLab is installed with an Install Shield install program.
Executing "setup.exe" will start the install process and add a
"ChemLab" menu to your start Programs menu.
Running ChemLab:
1. Click the Windows Start button, and then point to Programs.
2. Select the ChemLab program in the ChemLab program group.*
3. When ChemLab starts pick a simulation module to load from the
simulation dialogbox.
3. Read the lab introduction in the introduction text window.
4. After reading the lab introduction read the procedure.
5. Select the procedure tab above the text window.
6. Then perform the lab following the steps in the procedure.
While performing the procedure you can record your observations in
the observation text window.
*ChemLab may also be run by double clicking on the ChemLab.exe
file found in the ChemLab program folder:
(c:\program files\Model Science\ChemLab\chemLab.exe)
Creating a UDL, with the lab wizard involves the following steps:
1. Select the ChemLab Wizard from the simulation dialog box
(simulation dialog appears at startup or when starting new simulation)
2. The Lab Wizard will then appear.
3. Lab Introduction dialog, displays copyright information
(read and select Next)
4. Lab Information dialog, specify the File Name, Lab title and
short lab description
(this information will appear later in the simulation dialogbox)
(fill in and select Next)
5. Lab Documentation dialog, user specifies the introduction, procedure
and results, RTF (Rich Text Format) files. To create these files user
should first run Word or other word processor and save the files in
an RTF format. (fill in all fields and select Next)
6. Available chemicals dialog, the user specifies chemicals required
for their lab from a database of available chemicals.
7. The user may also add to or modify the chemical database, as needed.
8. Modifying the properties of Added Chemicals. Once chemicals are
added from the chemical database, their properties may be modified,
this allows chemicals to be marked as products or reactants
(reactants will appear in the chemicals dialogbox within ChemLab).
(Add all chemicals and select Next)
9. Reaction dialog, the user specifies reactions list. Start adding
reactions by selecting the "Add Reaction button". A reaction detail
dialog will appear. Name reaction and set any reaction conditions.
A new entry will appear in Reaction Tree. Drag and Drop Chemicals
from the Available Chemical List to the leaf nodes labeled
"Reactants" and "Products".
10. A reaction chemical dialogbox will appear if successfully dropped,
fill in the coefficient for the chemical. Continue to drag and drop
until you have the complete balanced reaction. Once all the reactions
have been added, select Next.
11. Finish dialog, this is the last step in lab creation process,
select Finish and the UDL will be created.
NOTE: The UDL(s) created with the evaluation version
are not saved to file.
Adding new Simulations:
New simulations with dll and udl extension may be added to ChemLab
by copying them to the ChemLab program folder.
Additional lab simulations and upgrade files will be available for
download from the Model Science web site page: http:\\modelscience.com,
for registered users.
Some useful Tips:
1. The Right mouse button brings up a popup context menu when clicked
on the lab window.
2. Ctrl + left or right arrow key changes the selection of lab
equipment.
(The Lab window must have the keyboard focus; click the right mouse
key on the lab window.)
