The big plus about our Software

Easy-to-accomplish generation of calibration setups

  • Storage of complete calibration courses in setup files (to be started by mouse click)
  • Simple drawing-up of setups by guided procedures
  • A Software wizard helps to create setups just by a few mouse clicks
  • Automatic loading of the item under test into the setup when using TEDS or ID modules
  • Fail-safe operation of testing the setup based on the performance data of the exciter

Integrated sensor database

  • High-performance search masks will find any test item that has ever been calibrated by the system
  • Administration of sensor type templates
  • Easy introduction of new test items based on sensor type (input of serial number will do)
  • Administration of calibration intervals, ID numbers (TEDS, DALLAS-ID, etc.) and other sensor data

Easy-to-accomplish data storage and data export

  • Storage of setup and calibration data in calibration log files in conformance with ISO 17025
  • Easy-to-accomplish export of data into text or spreadsheet routines (e. g. MS Word®, MS Excel®) to create calibration certifi cates ready for print-out
  • Optional: Data export into any other data format by means of VB scripts or other software (by using Windows COM interface technology)
  • Optional: Storage of calibration log files on database server (to cope with large volumes of data)

Modes for any other measurands

It is a matter of course that our offer of services also includes tailor-made software solutions to special problems with the aim of integrating them seamlessly into your CS18 system. Examples of possible problems are calibration of dynamic force and rotational speed.

Harmonization with Workflow in your Company

Workflow Calibration

Every business company is organized in its own way, making use of different software tools. As a rule, a calibration system cannot be regarded as an island; normally it is integrated in the company‘s workflow and must exchange data with other software.

For instance, data about calibration jobs need to be imported from ERP and calibration data need to be exported to instrumentation databases or crash-test software data bases. The CS18 software includes the appropriate automation software interfaces by means of which any CS18 calibration system can be adapted to any software environment and workflow.

Even complex calibration procedures can be accomplished in this manner by using small add-on programs. User-specific solutions of this kind can be implemented by the customer himself using common software tools or tailor-made by the experienced SPEKTRA software team.
