Dracal releases Protocol Switcher: simplifying calibration lab workflows for precision data integration
Today, Dracal announces the release of its Protocol Switcher tool, designed specifically for calibration laboratories working with Dracal sensors. This new utility addresses a key workflow challenge by enabling one-click protocol transitions with a single click.
New Protocol Switcher tool eliminates calibration lab friction
The Protocol Switcher allows calibration labs to:
- Instantly convert Dracal sensors from VCP (Virtual COM Port) mode to USB mode for calibration procedures
- Perform calibration using standard lab equipment and protocols
- Reconvert sensors back to VCP mode immediately after calibration completion
“Calibration labs told us they needed a faster way to switch between protocols during their workflows,” said the CEO Ariane Garon. “The Protocol Switcher eliminates the manual steps using terminals or external VCP reading tools making the entire calibration process more efficient and simple.”
This tool reinforces Dracal’s commitment to user-controlled calibration and maintenance—a core differentiator that enables customers to maintain precision standards without vendor dependencies or extended downtime.
The Protocol Switcher is available immediately as part of Dracal’s free calibration software suite DracalView version 3.4.0, continuing the company’s mission to make precision data integration effortless for OEMs while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and traceability.
About Dracal MII
In today’s fast-paced OEM environment, precision data shouldn’t be a bottleneck—it should be an enabler. That’s why Dracal created the Modular Instrument Integration (MII) solution, delivering instrument-level precision with sensor-level simplicity. While traditional solutions force teams to choose between complex DIY sensor integration or expensive, rigid measuring instruments locked into proprietary ecosystems, Dracal fills this critical gap with USB-connected sensors that provide ready-to-use, pre-calibrated data out of the box.
Central to Dracal’s value proposition is empowering users with full calibration (and, as importantly, the recalibration) control. Unlike traditional precision instruments that require vendor-dependent recalibration services, Dracal’s open approach includes free, cross-platform calibration tools that enable end-users to maintain ISO traceability on their own terms—reducing support tickets, eliminating downtime, and easing compliance with strict industry norms.
Dracal’s Modular Instrument Integration solution delivers the first precision data integration platform designed specifically for fast OEM deployment. With plug-and-play USB connectivity, open calibration tools, and modular design, Dracal enables teams to move from specification to prototype in hours, not weeks, while meeting the strictest compliance requirements in regulated industries.
