In order to make the software easily re-usable for future applications and adaptable in the event that modifications required on the line. foreseenAn example of some of the pages for setting-up the line in its principal parts:
- number and type of tanks;

- number and type of rectifiers;
- number and position of multiple rinses;
- dosing pumps and positions on which they operate number of
temperature controllers and positions on which they operate.
Process controls include:
- level control;
- Process temperatures;
- individual rectifiers;
- Chemical feeds;
