Keep your asset status information up-to-date in MET/CAL with Barcode Magician®

Barcode Magician® is designed to work with Fluke's MET/CAL and MET/TRACK products to automate repetitive database entry tasks such as checking in/out equipment, or changing equipment status simply and consistently for quantities of assets by entering an Action Code.  This Action Code can be manually entered at a keyboard but accuracy and simplcity are improved by using barcode scanner to read preprinted action code labels. (See Laser Scanners and Label Printers available from On Time Support.)

 

Barcode Magician® is available with two feature levels - Basic and Plus.

Barcode Magician® is also provided in two versions depending on your MET/CAL installation:

  1. Barcode Magician® 1.6 (For MET/CAL and MET/TRACK version 7 only)
  2. Barcode Magician® 1.7 (For MET/CAL and MET/TRACK version 7.1 or later only)
