InSpec
InSpec is Micro-Vu’s next generation metrology software combining new technologies and research with the expertise cultivated in InSpec Classic.
InSpec requires a license to use. Each eligible machine purchase entitles the customer to one free activation code for an InSpec license with free updates. InSpec licenses are limited to the PC for which they were activated and are nontransferable. For additional information about InSpec licensing or to purchase additional activation codes, contact your authorized dealer.
InSpec can be used with or without connection to a compatible machine. A built-in machine simulator is included with the base license since InSpec 1.4.0.
