RECON Software for Mass, Energy and Momentum

balancing with Data Reconciliation andValidation

RECON Lite Version of RECON which is restricted as concerns

a size of solved tasks. The Lite version is free and

can be downloaded from the InternetRECON.DLL RECON in the form of ActiveX object that can be

called from other software

DR Data Reconciliation - Adjustment of data to

obey natural laws. Reconciled data is more precise
