- Q1. Can any third party hardware be included in FCPower software?
- Q2. Can I control the hardware as well as acquire data?
- Q3. I have a third-party piece of equipment that should be recognized by FCPower in my fuel cell test system. What can I do for diagnostics to see why the instrument isn't being recognized?

Third-Party Hardware Integration
Integrate third-party hardware into your fuel cell testing!
Fideris FCPower™ software provides Plug-and-Play expandability to a wide variety of third party hardware. When the software starts, all available interfaces are searched (internal bus, IEEE-488, RS-232, RS-485, ethernet, etc.) and when recognized components are found they become fully integrated into the software. Component variables and controls are visible in the FCPower™ software program allowing full interaction with the balance of the test system.
