HBM provides maintenance contract for enhanced Catman range

Customers benefit from rapid upgrades with new functionality or to the latest operating systems, such as Windows 7, together with swift access to bug fixes. In addition, customers also receive an instant priority version of their software if, for example, any software error is rectified, which can occasionally occur prior to the subsequent version of the software becoming available for general release. The new maintenance contract also provides direct access to HBM's premium support facilities and offers customers rapid and accurate answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

Catman is HBM's powerful data acquisition software which can be used for configuring, visualising and analysing measurement. The software, which allows you to retrieve measurement results quickly and easily, provides a wealth of mathematical and graphical functions for analysing and evaluating measurement data, which can then be exported into common standard formats, if required.

Recently developed by HBM to boost measurement efficiency and ensure that customers' needs are met, the new Catman range now features a function library for electrical power within the software. In addition, wheel force sensors can be integrated and Catman allows for data acquisition with synchronous recording of up to four camera signals.

Users can now also easily and quickly export visualisations of processed measurement data to MS Word or MS Excel automatically to create reports and achieve a better interpretation of test results. Other new features to the range include new storage and export formats for other commonly used software packages for post processing and auto sequences to automate processes, for example, performing automated assessments of tests with script.

The maintenance contracts from HBM last up to 5 years and include updates at no extra cost within the covered period. In addition, customers are also informed of any additional updates to software that may affect the maintenance contract.

As accurate measurement results are the key to success in research and development, the new software maintenance contracts from HBM, ensure customers measurement and analysis software is always up to date and reliable.
