Universal Instruments by Prescott Instruments is specialist acquisition software that converges important laboratory data from many sources into one electronic data process. Along with Labline configurable instruments, Universal Instruments also enables the manual entry of data from independent instruments that do not have the capability to electrically log data to a configured database.
All manual laboratory equipment and non-Labline configured instruments, such as Tensometer, Durometer/Hardness, Density Meter and Specific Gravity, can be registered as a generic instrument into our system.
In addition to the manual data entry facility, Prescott Instruments can also provide bespoke modules for automatically capturing file data from a variety of instruments and other software applications.
This innovative software suite allows the registration of any number of generic instruments, configures predetermined test definitions and transcribes data into an ODBC database. Microsoft SQL Server ® and IBM DB2 ® databases are supported, with the option of being networkable.
Management Console

Manual Data Entry
The instrument configuration flexibility allows any type of autonomous instrument that does not have the capability to electrically transfer data to be set up as manual entry.
Automatic Data Capture
Equipped with file monitoring tools and file data parsing facilities for automatically capturing file data from a variety of instruments and other software applications. This feature requires bespoke modules, please contact our software support team for more information.
Reporting
This software is fully supported in our FlexiReports package, an advanced reporting suite that collates all Universal Instrument data and Labline into one report system.
Test Pass/Fail
Test Points can be configured to automatically pass or fail tests based on predetermined gates. Limits can be added and recalculated at any time.
