The cutting-edge software is designed to make survey work easier.
The device connects via a standard USB A - USB B cable, and dedicated software is available for download.
The software is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It enables automatic generation of IMO-compliant reports for all types of tested equipment. In addition, a surveyor can generate a single combined report for all safety equipment tested on a vessel.
A surveyor's paperwork can now be reduced to a minimum: just generate a report, print it, and sign! Or save it and send by e-mail. Add your company header with the logo and contact details to the user's profile, so that the test reports will be automatically generated with the header selected.
