02 May 2006 AvivAOS1.1.1231.54.zip contains the Aviv Advanced Operating Software (Au-AOS) to operate the Aviv fluorescence system (Au-FDS). The software will also operate in a "Testing mode" even if the computer is not attached to an XLI analytical ultracentrifuge. At present, AU-AOS does not run the Beckman optical systems.
