Electrical design software upgrades for 2007
Amtech has unveiled the latest release of its market-leading software that will help power electrical engineers and contractors into 2007.
FastTest complies fully with the requirements of BS 7671, and to ensure easy, intuitive operation, it displays certificates on the computer screen just as they appear in print.
Users simply type in data, rather than writing it on a paper certificate.
Unlike a paper certificate, however, FastTest automatically verifies the data, and highlights any areas of non-compliance, allowing appropriate remedial action to be taken.
