Designed for portability. Manageability. Viewability. In short, for easy-ability.
The field brings its fair share of challenges: hard-to-reach locations, dark environments, rain, cold, sunlit environments and other conditions that can complicate your job. Designed to deliver a new level of user-friendliness, the FTB-500 makes it all much easier.
- Conveniently located handles and first-class ergonomics, for easy carrying and operation
- Angled stance for easier viewing of results
- Easily accessible ports and stylus
It’s your platform. You control it. Whether you’re on-site or not.
Sometimes, there is just no way around it: you need to be in two places at the same time, carrying out test cycles on-site, and overseeing the operations from a remote location. Which is exactly what the FTB-500 enables, using Windows-based remote desktop capabilities as well as VNC.
