HOW IT WORKS
A typical installation of FastCalXP includes a personal computer running Microsoft® Windows®

, a GaugeCalHP comparator and an nVision Reference Recorder,
XP2i digital pressure gauge or 30 Series calibrator, used as the reference. The device under test, or gauge, is mounted on the comparator along with the refer-
ence and the reference is connected to the computer’s serial or USB port.
FastCalXP stores detailed information about all tested or otherwise entered gauges, references and users as well as all acquired calibration details for each
gauge. The fl ow of the program proceeds in four steps:

FastCalXP automatically detects a Crystal digital reference connected to the computer’s serial or USB port. The software also automatically reads and records
pressure measurements from the reference.
All of the information entered into or acquired by FastCalXP is stored in a single relational database using Microsoft Access components already on your com-
puter. Using the database, FastCalXP generates Microsoft Excel-compatible calibration certifi cates.
