Product News: Calibration records easier to manage with GAGEpack

New version includes predictive searches and easy editing of choice lists

(PQ Systems: Dayton, OH) -- A new release of GAGEpack from PQ Systems features more efficient access to gauge calibration records as well as improved e-mail alarms to designated receivers.

GAGEpack is powerful gauge calibration software that saves time and enhances accuracy in gauge management and measurement systems analysis. It maintains complete histories of measurement devices, instruments, and gauges. To ensure timely calibration, the software provides a variety of tools, such as:

• Calibration schedules and reports

• Alerts about failed and past-due calibrations

• Gauge location and status tracking

• Gauge repair records

• Audit trail for traceability

 

A to-do list in the newest release indicates items requiring attention for a user-selected period of time. The choice list can be filtered by action and ordered with a simple click of column headers, and then sent via e-mail to designated receivers.

Other features and improvements to the popular calibration device program include predictive searches through choice lists and ease in editing these lists. The choice list can be edited directly from the gauge form, saving time by eliminating clicks.

Because GAGEpack has been revised as a .NET program, it will continue to evolve and improve using the newest available technology, according to lead program developer Jeff Aughton. Current users will find the transition to the new program seamless, he adds.
