(I've tried posting this before & was told success, but
 never saw it on the net, so here goes again.
 Sorry in advance if this duplicates a previous posting)


I'm looking for information on companies selling
software/hardware combinations that will handle
control (and possibly monitoring) of a basic
laboratory distillation column. I know there are
many sources for the bits and pieces (A-D convertors,
etc) but I'm wondering if anyone has put together
a subsystem capable of doing typical laboratory
or pilot plant type control. Failing this, is there 
a Sun or DEC or PC based sub-system to set up several PID 
control loops ?
 
So far I've received recommendations for LabTech Notebook. 
Does anyone have experience using this product for actual 
control type applications ? 

Thanks in advance,
