Few things matter in your work more than productivity. And few things can help make you more productive than well-written automation software. We’ve got the world’s best temperature calibration automation software—exactly what you need to be productive. It’s Windows based and it’s easy to use.

You may be familiar with the Hart automation software duo Calibrate-it & Generate-it. Now both come in a single package. We call it MET/TEMP II! Written by the same Hart temperature experts that brought you the original Calibrate-it & Generate-it software, this new package interfaces with Fluke’s MET/TRACK.

Calibrating sensors manually is expensive because of labor costs. It takes roughly four hours to calibrate a sensor at three points, then another hour on top of that for paperwork to document the temperature data and to create the certificate. This is much too time-consuming. Now there’s a better way.

With MET/TEMP II, you simply place your test sensors in a heat source, connect them to a readout, and enter your setup data into your PC. Sometime later, hit your print button, take the reports out of your printer, sign them, and ship the sensors back to your customer. Your customers will love the fast turnaround.

It’s your choice. Spend four hours the old way and handle everything manually, or fifteen minutes with our software and have plenty of time to read your e-mail.

This software package tests thermocouples (all types), RTDs, SPRTs, thermistors, and even liquid-in-glass thermometers (LIGs). Virtually any sensor with a resistance or voltage output can be tested, up to 100 sensors at a time. They don’t even have to be the same type. You can select as few as 1 or as many as 40 temperatures at which to test your sensors. Nobody makes more ultra-stable heat sources and thermometer readouts for temperature calibration work than Hart Scientific. MET/TEMP II can use virtually every one of them. You don’t need to worry about special software drivers for each different piece of equipment. Just plug and play. Use MET/TEMP II with these instruments:

• Hart furnaces 9112, 9113, 9114 and 9150
• Hart furnaces 9210 and 9260 (when used for comparison only)
• Hart IR Calibrators 9132 and 9133
• Hart controllers models 2100, 2200 and 7900
• Fluke dry-block models 514, 515, 517, 518
• Any other heat source (temperatures must be set manually)

Did we mention that MET/TEMP II also works with the Fluke Hydra Series II data loggers?

You can even calibrate heat sources such as Hart dry-wells and Micro-Baths with this software.

MET/TEMP II also lets you perform semi-automated fixed-point calibrations. The software allows you to program soak times in the cell before taking readings. You may even mix fixed points with comparison points in the same calibration. Of course, we also include fixed-point information on the new report layout.

If you use the 1560 Black Stack, you can simultaneously calibrate up to 64 RTDs, 64 thermistors, 96 thermocouples or any combination. That’s a lot of sensors.

MET/TEMP II allows you to track the serial numbers, model numbers, calibration dates, and recall dates of all test equipment and sensors under test. Optionally, this data may be synchronized with information in your MET/TRACK database. MET/TEMP II also stores customer names and addresses for printing on reports.

With MET/TEMP II, you make your own choices regarding precision and throughput. When setting up tests, you specify the required stability level at each set-point to ensure that readings are taken only under the conditions you require. You’ll get the exact level of precision you want based on the equipment you have and the calibration time you set.

MET/TEMP II will interface with MET/TRACK to record calibration and maintenance history, traceability information, and even the location of your thermometers and heat sources. Use it with MET/TRACK and watch your productivity take a big step up.

Calibration reports are automatically created from your setup data and test results. Each report conforms completely to the requirements of ANSI/NCSL Z540-1.

It’s fast, it’s accurate, and it’s complete. This is true Windows software. It runs on Windows™ 9.x/ME/2000/NT/XP, and includes a context-sensitive, online help system. Just click the help button (or press F1) from any screen and you’ll get the information you need. When you experience the interface of this software, you’ll agree nothing could be easier.

The MET/TEMP II Coefficients and Tables application contains utilities for data analysis. It calculates ITS-90 coefficients and residuals for each sensor tested. Tables can be generated with temperature-versus-resistance, temperature-versus-ratio, or temperature-versus-EMF data. Each report can be generated in °C, °F, or K and in selectable increments from 0.01 to 100.

For PRTs, MET/TEMP II calculates coefficients for ITS-90, IPTS-68, Callendar-Van Dusen, and polynomial functions. For thermistors, it calculates coefficients for polynomial functions, including Steinhart-Hart. Thermocouple coefficients can be calculated for types B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T, and AuPt. This software even allows you to verify that the appropriate temperatures are used to calculate coefficients.

Need subranges in ITS-90? No problem. Want to print tables for any temperature range and in any incremental amounts? No problem. Need to generate formatted reports that conform to ANSI/NCSL Z540-1? No problem.

Data can also be exported to spreadsheets or other statistical analysis software as comma-delimited or tab-delimited text. MET/TEMP II does all of that and more, but best of all it does it automatically. There’s not much you could ever want to do that this package won’t do. This is real calibration software, not merely a data acquisition package with a fancy name! Other software packages work with one or two instruments; they won’t control the wide variety of heat sources our software does. Other software doesn’t fully automate the calibration process. They try to. They pretend to. But they don’t. Control dry-wells, baths, readouts, and the entire calibration process. Store data on test equipment and on sensors under test. There’s absolutely nothing even close to this software on the market. Nothing!

When you’ve got more work to do than you can do in a 12-hour day, and you still need some time to visit accounting to straighten out a few things, MET/TEMP II will take care of business for you. Go home. Spend some time with your kids. Play a game of golf. It’s your choice how you spend your time!
