| Summary COMPASS® for Pressure is a universal platform for all of your pressure calibration software needs. From piston gauges calibrating individual devices in the cal lab to transfer standards characterizing racks of sensors in production, COMPASS provides an off-the-shelf software tool to maximize the automation of your calibration and testing processes. COMPASS for Pressure integrates calibration functions with pressure specific dependencies that are missing from more generic software packages. Thanks to COMPASS's flexible data output options, the data it collects is easily imported into higher level applications such as Fluke MET/CAL®. This allows the benefits of COMPASS's specialization in pressure calibration to be enjoyed while maintaining the link to your organization's overall calibration management system. |
