  • AnIML support (converter and viewer) for long-term archiving of raw (2D/3D) and meta data
  • Multi-language support with Chinese being the first addition and other languages to follow.

CompassCDS from SCION also complies with national and international regulations and guidelines including 21CFR11 and ISO/IEC 17025.
