Data XL and Data XL PRO
At Danatronics we believe managing your saved
data should be simple. As such, we include with
every thickness gage a free interface program we
call Data XL. Data XL saves readings to .csv files
that can be used in any spreadsheet program such
as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
Here are some advantages:
• Write custom batch programs
• Simple double click the file to be transfer and
Microsoft Excel with all i.d.’s and readings are
displayed
• Create file and send them to the ECHO
• Merge files using Data XL
• Saved strored application seteups can be sent
to the ECHO or multiple ECHO units to ensure
reliability and repeatability
• Update firmware (latest version of operating
software is available on the support tab of
www.danatronics.com)
• Send Bit Maps (screen shots) to further document
your inspections
The optional Data XL Pro does all of the above plus allows the transfer of A-scan and B-scan for the
ultimate in computer software reporting.
