CALISO - the calibration software for scientists and engineers
Caliso Calibration Administrator - Overview

Overview Main Features

Caliso Calibration Administrator - a cost-effective yet powerful way to manage your calibration data.



What is Calibration Administrator ?
Not everyone needs all of the features included in our flagship calibration management software Caliso Calibration Toolbox. So we created a powerful, but less expensive package, to meet these requirements: Caliso Calibration Administrator.

In this software you will find all that you need to keep track of every device and instrument in you care, and manage all of the data that is produced in a modern calibration facility.

Calibration Administrator is a very user-friendly way of keeping track of your devices and instruments, managing their calibrations, and storing and organising calibration data.



Calibration Administrator enables you to schedule calibrations
The software has a built in calendar function that enables you to see, at a glance, the devices that are due for calibration in any month. Monthly schedules can be exported to Microsoft Excel.

Calibration Administrator enables you to store device calibration data internally within the database
Each device record is made up of 130 data fields of which there are 4 types:

  • Short string fields - you have 100 of these

    These allow entry of text data up to a maximum of 60 characters. Depending on how each field has been configured, data will be either typed-in manually or selected from a drop-down list.

  • Long string fields - you have 10 of these

    These allow manual entry of text data up to a maximum of 256 characters.

  • Date fields - you have 10 of these

    These allow entry of dates using the Caliso date selector.

  • Logical True/False fields - you have 10 of these

    These fields are represented by a check box to set the entry to true or false.

Calibration Administrator enables you to organise data stored in external files
In addition to the large amount of information that can be stored for each device within the database, it is also possible to link any number of external files to a particular device, and launch them from within Calibration Administrator at the click of a mouse.

If you like to keep device data in external files, then Calibration Administrator is for you. You can organise your calibration schedules, device data and files all in one easy-to-use program.

Here are a few examples of the kind of data files you might need to organise:
  • Calibration measurement data Excel spreadsheet
  • Calibration procedure document MS Word document or Acrobat Reader file
  • Scanned calibration certificate tif file
  • Operating manual MS Word document or Acrobat Reader file


The list could go on and on, anything you want.

Calibration Administrator can be easily configured to match your exact requirements
Using the Settings utility the Calibration Administrator database can be set up to display device data exactly how you want it to be. The following are possible:

  • Rename fields

    Of the 130 available fields, all but 5 can be renamed to match the data you wish to store for example:
    • Purchase Date
    • Operating Range
    • Condition Returned for Calibration
    • Within Tolerance


  • Re-order fields

    The fields can be moved so that they are displayed in any order you like.

  • Hide fields

    Any fields that are not used can be hidden from view.

  • Free entry or drop-down list

    Short string fields can be configured to accept either manually typed data or by selection from drop-down lists of your own making.
