Update to Crosby Straightpoint’s Insight software

“Kito Crosby is thrilled to announce the latest update to Crosby Straightpoint’s Insight software,” says Peter Hird, commercial and business development lead for Crosby Straightpoint. “With new features and a refreshed look, this release significantly enhances usability, analysis capabilities, and parameter management, making it an invaluable tool for large-scale projects in construction and shipbuilding.”

Insight software is supplied with an SW-D USB wireless dongle and can be installed on any Windows tablet or laptop.  It allows connection of up to 126 Crosby Straightpoint wireless load cells, simultaneously.

Insight’s main features include a multi-channel display and data logging mode to view and log load data from connected load cells.  The software also totals loads live on-screen and directly into a .csv file for later analysis at speeds of up to 200Hz.  With its visualisation mode, it is possible to import a photo of the lift and then drag-and-drop load cell displays to replicate the lift on-screen. The centre of gravity mode connects SP’s range of wireless compression load cells, enabling large items and structures to be weighed and their centre of gravity calculated. The proof load testing feature includes real-time graphing of load tests with auto-generated test certificates.

What’s new:

• New icons, new look and feel
  – Easier to use and navigate.
• Support for multiple dongles added
  – You can now use multiple USB dongles allowing a better line of sight
  between loadcells and laptop.
• Date format change in Proof Test Plus based on region
  – Allows the date on a proof test plus report to be formatted to your region.
• Added trigonometry functions under formula
  – The new trigonometry function enables you to enter the angle of loadcells and calculate mass and force on a loadcell rigged in a sling application.
• Type and search for loadcells
  – Now much easier to search for connected loadcells, using a new search feature in the loadcell page.
•  Load chart export function added
  – You can now export the real-time load chart for analysis post-lift
• Added support for a second load cell in the Proof Test Plus screen
  – The ability to have two loadcells connected in Proof Test Plus mode. This is useful for water bag applications or spreader beam lifts and load tests.
• A simpler way to reflect parameter changes
  – If any parameter has been changed or the loadcell is recalibrated you can now do a rescan from INSIGHT and it will auto-update the new parameters as well as the new calibration due date.
