The ProCalV5 Field Calibrator Utility allows you to use the ProCalV5 Calibration Management Solution in conjunction with a Documenting Process Calibrator (DPC) to perform paperless calibrations on your instruments, loops and/or systems. This is implemented through use of the Field Calibrator Interface (FCINTF), as developed by the Southwest Research Institute.
This interface allows you to use this one utility for a variety of supported driver/calibrator combinations. These devices generally come with a serial port cable, which plugs into a port on the calibrator. The other end of the device is plugged into your PC's serial port.
