    RECON

    Software for Mass, Energy and Momentum balancing with Data Reconciliation and Validation Version of RECON which is restricted as concerns a size of solved tasks. The Lite version is free and can be downloaded from the Internet

    RECON Lite

    RECON.DLL
    DR

    RECON in the form of ActiveX object that can be called from other software
    Data Reconciliation - Adjustment of data to obey natural laws. Reconciled data is more precise than the directly measured ones. DR also servers for detection and elimination of gross errors

    Data Validation Improvement of the overall quality of process data (protection against random and gross errors)

    Getting started: Basic screen of the Lite version(1)

    Contents

    The Lite version is a limited version of the full version. It enables one to create and solve small tasks limited by number of nodes, streams and components. A user in the Lite version is anonymous
