Registration: $25 Long Description: ----------------- WinDatCon v2.0 is a Windows data conversion program by Vogel Scientific Software for Acceleration, Angle, Area, Energy, Length, Power, Pressure, Speed, Temperature, Time, Volume, and Weight. WinDatCon has many unique features. For example, complete pop-up unit definitions are available at the click of a button. Sometimes units in different measurement systems have the same name but different values. WinDatCon calculates the most common uses of the unit and provides definitions and conversion factors for other systems. Also, a list of SI prefixes with values, names and symbols is included. The Angle Conversion screen not only displays the angle value in the units available, but also provides a graphical representation. Another unique feature is the Degree: Minute: Second unit that can be input or calculated. Time conversions can be a problem because the number of days in a year is not constant. WinDatCon addresses this problem by calculating and displaying the possible number of leap years in a given period. The user is presented with options to use 365 day years with the minimum or maximum number of leap years, or use average 365.25 day years. A Boiling Point option is available to calculate the approximate boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. For increased accuracy one of eight compound groups can be selected. A Density calculation option also is available. A list of boiling points and densities for over 200 common solvents and reagents is included. WinDatCon has a simple and convenient user interface. All conversions corresponding to a given unit class are displayed on the same screen. Calculated values are accurate to six significant figures and all displayed digits are significant. Values can be displayed in scientific notation or floating decimal format. The conversion factors used by WinDatCon are consistent with published values including the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Other features of WinDatCon include options to save a configuration for use on start-up, select programs to launch, and monitor Free System Resources. Extensive on-line help is available. This is a powerful tool for scientists and students. Requires VBRUN300.DLL. Shareware.
