KITS™ software connects to KI 7000 Series Power Meters or Loss Test Sets
to perform real time data acquisition and instrument control. Measurement
data from any other incompatible instrument can be entered manually.
This means that KITS™ can be used across any size of organisation as a true
enterprise level solution for performing measurement, reporting and database
entry. KITS™ data files can be easily imported to most databases through
Excel import utilities built into commercial database software, or using Excel
Smart Tags if used with Office XP or beyond.
Benefits include improved productivity, lower required skill level, fewer
mistakes and extensive report customizing capability. KITS™ enables
customized professional reporting to your customers, while making the
measurement process simpler and faster.
