After the successful launch of their best selling Elcometer 456 range of coating thickness gauges, Elcometer are pleased to announce the release of the first in a series of software enhancements for the Elcometer 456. “In order to keep our customers up to date with the latest inspection technologies we designed the Elcometer 456 to have a built-in user upgrade feature,” stated John Fletcher, Technical Support Manager at Elcometer. “To future proof their Elcometer 456 all our customers have to do is connect their gauge to Elcometer’s ElcoMaster™ 2.0 data management software and follow the onscreen prompts, it’s that simple!”

In addition to general language and technical updates, this field-based upgrade installs a new graph review screen on Elcometer 456 Model T gauges – allowing users to view all their batch readings instantly on the gauge’s colour display. “Having bought equipment which has quickly been superseded myself, I felt it was important that our customer’s gauges were always kept up to date,” stated Michael Sellars, Managing Director of Elcometer. “We have plans to release free software enhancements on a regular basis to ensure our customers have the most up to date gauges on the market, at all times”. Elcometer have a team of engineers already developing future upgrades to the Elcometer 456 dry film thickness range for release early in the New Year. ElcoMaster™ 2.0 data management system informs you of any available software updates as soon as you connect your gauge via the USB port.
