PodiumPal

This presentation manager for the 95LX helps you create, organize, time, and deliver your speeches and other presentations. PodiumPal lets you create up to 12 "note cards" per speech, each of which can have 6-10 lines of copy. A large font makes it easier to see the information during the presentation.

A built-in clock helps to keep the presenter on schedule. It displays a countdown for the length of the presentation in the upper left of the 95LX display. A bottom right display ticks off time for each note card. A warning flashes when its time to wrap up.

An internal quotation directory includes 100 famous motivational and inspirational quotes. The package comes with Making an Impact, a step-by-step guide to public speaking.

QC-LINK/HP

This data acquisition and quality control charting software allows instrument data to be sent to the 95LX through the RS 232 serial port. Incoming data can be sent to a file or directly into a Lotus spreadsheet. Data can be selectively parsed and keyboard macros applied automatically.

The Quality Control portion of QC-LINK/HP allows a variety of relevant plots to be generated, including X-bar, R-bar, Sigma, and Histogram. Each of these is updated in real-time as new data arrives or is generated from imported ASCII files.

QC-LINK/HP calculates a wide range of SQC statistics automatically. Mean and standard deviations, capability indices, and performance statistics are computed and can be viewed and updated in real-time. Statistics can be customized through user designed statistical reports.
