The gauge has a data logger with the big colour LCD display and comfortable keyboard. The data logger is mounted on the gauge during the measurements, storing the measurement data, and making it possible to enter the additional diagnostic information, including the visual inspection results.

One can specify tolerances for the measured parameters using the data logger keyboard. The value of the measured parameter exceeding the tolerance is displayed in red.

PC software

After detaching the data logger from the gauge beam it is possible to review the measurement data stored in the data logger memory and download it to the PC.

Software delivered with the instrument makes it possible to download the reading to the PC and generate measurement reports.

The PC software makes it possible to save, visualise, and print measurement data reports.
