Summary COMPASS® for Pressure is a universal platform for all of your pressure calibration software needs. From piston gauges calibrating individual devices in the cal lab to transfer standards characterizing racks of sensors in production, COMPASS provides an off-the-shelf software tool to maximize the automation of your calibration and testing processes. COMPASS for Pressure integrates calibration functions with pressure specific dependencies that are missing from more generic software packages. Thanks to COMPASS's flexible data output options, the data it collects is easily imported into higher level applications such as Fluke MET/TEAM®. This allows the benefits of COMPASS's specialization in pressure calibration to be enjoyed while maintaining the link to your organization's overall calibration management system.

5.0.25 (2016.05.13)
ADD	CPP-74	The Fluke 2271A is now supported by the Auto-Detect setup function within COMPASS. The instrument can be used as a DUT, Reference and/or to measure the output of an analog or HART DUT connected to the front panel of the instrument.
ADD	CPP-62	Manual piston gauges will now use a pressure resolution that is one digit more than the resolution of the active DUT. Changing the Pressure Resolution selection on the Piston Gauge calculator will now cause data to be logged in the selected resolution when running a manual test. Note that the resolution active when the data file is created is used until a new data file is created.
ADD	CPP-3	An example setup for the Mensor CPC6000 is now available in the default database.
ADD	CPP-73	The serial number of the active PMM is logged in the data file when a Fluke 2271A or 6270A is used as the test pressure reference. The value is available for reports in both the External Serial Number 1,2 fields of the device header and in the Reference Operation column logged for each point in the data file.
ADD	CPP-54	A new test macro that provides ISO17025 compliant uncertainty calculations is available in the default database. The macro can be used in an existing Test Definition by ensuring first that the test is setup as an Advanced Test, then selecting the macro "UncCalc" as the Test Event Macro. In [Tools][Options][Data in File] ensure that the columns User Defined 1,2 and string Data 1 are selected for logging to the data file. See the UncCalc test macro for additional details.
CHANGE	CPP-83	The front panel pressure unit of legacy Ruska controllers, the Fluke 6270A and the Fluke 2271A will automatically change to inHg when a test is executed in inHg. Previously, the controllers would remain in their current unit of measure and COMPASS would convert and display the pressure in inHg.
FIX	CPP-85	Commands sent in a Macro with the ioSendCommand function would never actually be sent to the instrument. The issue is now resolved.
FIX	CPP-69	The 2456 PG monitor would not properly updated ambient pressure, temperature and humidity. This issue is now resolved.
FIX	CPP-72	The 6270A will no longer generate a front panel error message when setting ATM test points in a pressure exercise or a Test Definition.
FIX	CPP-77	The upper and lower limit settings of the 6270A are updated based on the range requirements of the selected DUT and/or Test Definition.
FIX	CPP-68	The COMPASS Database Data Viewer can now consistently import and export *.dat files. Previously there were cases in which some files could not be imported or exported properly.
FIX	CPP-82	Viewing the Setup picture associated with a Test Definition during Test Initialization would close COMPASS if the picture file type is PNG or a UNC path is selected. An appropriate warning message now displays and incompatible paths and file types are restricted from being used in the Test Definition.
FIX	CPP-71	When editing a Test Definition, the Rt-Click option to add an ATM point in the pressure exercise would generate a run-time error in COMPASS. This issue is now resolved and ATM points are fully supported in the pressure exercise.
FIX	CPP-44	Using an RPM4 as the ambient pressure source with a Ruska 2465 or 2456 would generate a run time error in COMPASS. This issue is now resolved.
FIX	CPP-76	COMPASS 5.0 did not properly support binary RS232 communication. This prevented HART communications from functioning properly. The issue is now resolved.
FIX	CPP-75	When creating a set command the label next to the list of set application types now displays "Apply Set".
FIX	CPP-59	Resolved a misspelling in the Tools menu.
