Softing recommends WireXpert to be calibrated annually. Starting from v7.4, WireXpert will remind the
user to calibrate the units if the last calibration was more than one year ago. This notification can be
closed by clicking the
[OK]
button, but will be displayed on every boot up until the units are calibrated.
Calibration can only be done by the service center. Please contact your local vendor for more
information.
