Software

Proprietary PC software is included with each Hycal 'kit' as standard.

Devices Hycal Mk4, Hycal 100, Hycal 200 and Hycal 1000 are all compatible with the 'Hycal PC Software' whereas the Hycal Mini is only compatible with the less sophisticated 'Hycal Mini PC Software'.

For users that require a more granular level of traceability (such as recording the type of part, the furnace ID or perhaps the type of degassing operation), Index PC software may be more suitable.

In addition, to make life easier when using Hycal (when access to a PC is often not possible) EMC has developed a hydrogen solubility app for mobile devices (both iOS and Android).

X-CAL Automatic Calibration

X-CAL extends Hycal's calibration capabilities by deploying the analyser's precision Mass Flow Controller to implement automatic in-situ probe calibration adjustment using a patented algorithm.

The system measures hydrogen partial pressure at two flow rates and automatically adjusts the sensor calibration constants, which are stored in the probe EEPROM. This ensures consistent accuracy without manual intervention.
