Applications & Features

Inventory, Reminders, and Jobs

A comprehensive inventory database can be created and customised to company requirements. For internal calibration and quality management, departments and users can be specified. Alternatively EasyCal can be used as the controlling system for a calibration business based around customers and owners.

Search

A powerful search feature enables the user to enter specific criteria to quickly find the required data. When adding details the user is aided by drop-down lists, which automatically update when new information is added.

Input Fields

Used to add details such as ID and serial number, manufacturer and model, instrument status and service notes. In addition custom fields can be created to integrate with a company system. Images can be uploaded to provide further reference.

Instrument Recall and Reminder System

Instruments which are due for calibration are listed on screen. Reminder letters and lists can be printed or emailed directly to the customer or department. An advanced notice period can be set to bring forward the recall date allowing for response time.

Job Management

When a unit for test is booked in the job process starts. Specific information about the job is entered; such as ‘service required’, ‘sub contracted’ and ‘accessories supplied’. A job sheet and label can be produced at this stage to accompany the instrument. As the job is put through the system these parameters can be updated, for example ‘quote price’, ‘job status’ and ‘invoiced’.

Document Links and Attachments

Create links to technical files, specifications, web pages, word documents, videos, and more. These can be set to automatically display prior to the calibration run.

Devices and Standards used for Calibration

Traceability information for instruments and standards that perform the calibration work is stored and maintained by EasyCal.

Uncertainties

Uncertainty tables for laboratory and site can be created for each calibrating instrument. These are then automatically processed and applied to certificates as required.

Procedure Writing and Editing

Creating and editing test procedures is made simple with an intuitive, user-friendly interface. Editing test information can be done by adding, inserting, or copy and pasting. EasyCal keeps track of each time a procedure is edited.

Procedure Library

A calibration library comprising of over 1200 procedures covering a wide variety of instruments and devices is included as standard.

Procedure Templates

Procedure templates for multimeters, clamp meters, decade boxes, insulation testers, and more can be used for creating any new procedures as required.

Fast Procedure Creation and Editing

Copy and paste multiple tests. Globally edit a group of tests. Colour coded listing helps sort and identify different test types.

Test Wizards

EasyCal features intuitive wizards for calibrating typical process devices such as transmitters, sensors, and pressure gauges. They provide users with a fast method to create procedures. Basic criteria about a device is entered, then the wizard creates a set of tests based on this information.

Procedure Simulation

The Calibration Run Simulator enables a procedure to be tested without the need for a controlling instrument. To further assist with development of procedures a test can also be edited during the actual calibration run

Format Certificates

Colour code and add borders to test group titles. Add column headers where a change of layout is required. A preview feature allows the user to check the certificate layout to determine if formatting is correct.

Conversion Tables

Conversion tables for thermocouples, RTDs, current transformers, and clamp meter adaptors are included. Alternatively user-defined tables can be created.

Remote Commands

For more complex instrument control, commands can be sent on a test-by-test basis or run as a script. Closed loop calibration is also achievable using the universal readback feature. This allows EasyCal to control third party calibration equipment and communicate with devices under test.

Instrument and Device Calibration

Automated calibration run provides fast and accurate collection of data, whether using direct instrument control or manual entry. EasyCal guides the operator through the procedure using graphical test screens and user prompts.

Search

Selection of the device under test is quick and easy. With the use of a barcode scanner this selection becomes automatic.

Calibration Prompts

Text and graphical prompts aid the user with instrument range selection and connection. So even the most complex calibrations can be performed with relative ease.

Graphical Test Screen

The calibration run is made simple and efficient by a graphical user-interface, which increases speed of data entry. The colour coded indication bar displays the test limits. This allows the operator to easily identify out of tolerance results.

Test Control

At any stage during the calibration run a summary can be displayed, this includes both completed and remaining tests. Colour coding indicates tests passed or failed. The operator is able to move forward or backward through the procedure as required.

End of Calibration Run

Data for every test is stored, including a snap shot of the procedure used. If required calibration comments and service history can be updated. The operator is able to print the certificate, produce a calibration label and/or store the results to be issued as required.

Recovery Mode

If for any reason a calibration run is interrupted, EasyCal’s recovery mode feature allows the user resume the test run from the point of termination.

Calibration Test Forms

Alternatively ‘calibration test forms’ for hand written results are available. This data is then entered manually into EasyCal at a later date

Certificates/Reports/Data Management

Produce, print, and store calibration certificates, reports, and labels. Simple search facilities enable the user to locate any data on demand. Keeping track of instrument history and servicing is made easy.

Certificate Templates

A range of pre-formatted templates are available for immediate use. A company logo can be added without the need for 3rd party software.

Electronic Signatures

Password protected electronic signatures allow management to approve certificates. In addition a scanned image of the signature can automatically be inserted, eliminating the need to print certificates

Built-in PDF Engine

Generate PDF reports and certificates ready for emailing and universal review.

Calibration Reports

Documented traceability provides a recorded audit trail. Reports showing calibration duration times can assist with costing and assessments.

Import and Export

Exchange data from one system to another using the import/ export feature. This method is ideal for site and field calibration work, where data is recorded externally then uploaded to the main database upon return.

Customise

Crystal Reports (optional) allows full modification of certificate, label, and report layouts. Design custom reports using queries, formulas, and running totals.
