All-in-one Software Package. CALegration® is an all-in-one software package designed to operate MTE’s portable and stationary test equipment product lines with the same software and on a common database.

CALegration® is an all-in-one software package designed to operate MTE’s portable and stationary test equipment product lines with the same software and on a common database. It bundles functionalities and advantages into a comprehensive software solution.

The philosophy of CALegration® is to integrate all basic test elements—administration, database, operation and results—into one single software platform and to use it with both MTE’s portable and stationary test devices.

While testing with CALegration®, the results are stored in a centralized SQL-based database, giving users the flexibility to access the data wherever testing is performed: on-site with portable test equipment, in the laboratory, or in the meter production plant with stationary equipment.

Moreover, CALegration® provides a complete history and overview of all tested meters, allowing users to track meters and their test results throughout their full lifecycle.

Covering all requirements of the modern meter testing environment, CALegration® provides the flexibility to easily incorporate future meter testing requirements. Tests can be carried out for simple or highly complex meters (smart meters) in accordance with customer requirements and national/international test and calibration regulations (e.g. PTB, IEC, BS, ANSI).
