Advantages of the AmpleVolts program

AmpleVolts is a software program designed to fill a need in the industry to save time in downloading critical and accurate electrical information from electrical and electronic equipment. As much as 70% of time is saved when using this program with certain testing techniques.

The program has an Activation Code protection for peace of mind for security of your work and confidentiality of your customers.

Tolerances of both AC and DC functions is variable this enables exact tolerance settings of known equipment.

Power usage of equipment can be calculated with a simple push of a button. AC & DC equipment, both 3 phase and single phase equipment, and a combination of both can be tested.

All measurements, waveforms and graphs are detected by an Oscilloscope only a few manually inputted measurements are used.

All data acquisition pages have a Control Setup / settings area for the Oscilloscope command, Comments Section and Test Complete Function.

Data can be transferred to pdf. format within seconds, Prior test file can be recalled when testing the same equipment, completing client and unit details.

Commercial details can be reused for the same customer on different equipment.

Downloaded information saves time in generating long labour intensive reports comprising of text, graphs, waveform into pdf. formats.

This program is easy to use and follow, going systematically through the Common Field Area Test Complete Indicators.

Out of tolerance Indicators for measurements not complying with specification flagged in the summary page settings.

Pages to be printed can be either deselected or selected as required.

Invoices can be printed from this document if required.
