XL
Pro Titanium Edition |
|
| |
Powerful value priced
inspection report software that is big on features, small on price.
XL Pro Legacy and Titanium Editions provide the professional home or
commercial building inspector with features normally found in
reporting software costing hundreds more. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The new XL Pro Legacy and
Titanium Editions fill the gap left by the discontinued Legacy
Series and the earlier generation XL Pro series reports. XL Pro
Legacy and Titanium bring two powerful value priced reports to the
XL Pro lineup. More comprehensive and more flexible than anything
in the older Legacy Series, XL Pro Legacy and Titanium will be the
logical choice for the new inspector looking for a powerful value
priced report system or an inspector looking to upgrade from limited
capability budget reports that lack the tools that today's inspector
needs in order to remain competitive. |

New
XL Pro Command Bar
The powerful XL Pro
Command Bar™ now comes to the Titanium Edition.
Previously only available in the Silver, Gold, and
Platinum Editions, the XL Pro Command Bar brings the
power of Titanium Edition's most popular features to the
forefront. The XL Pro Command Bar is accessible at all
times regardless of where you are in the report or what
you are doing. |
 |
New
Photo Viewer
XL Pro's
State-of-the-Art photo insertion was already the fastest
and easiest to use of any reporting software anywhere,
regardless of price. Now, we made working with photos
even easier with a full featured photo viewer built
right into the report. We've completely eliminated the
need for expensive third party photo manipulation
software! |
 |
New
Photo Placement Options
Do you sometimes
want to place a photo right among your text, alongside a
narrative, or next to check boxes related to the item
depicted in the photo? Now you can. You still have the
photo album pages that you have always had in XL Pro
Titanium edition but now you can place a photo almost
anywhere in the report. No other inspection report
software gives you so many options. |
 |
New
Photo Annotation with Text
There are times when to be
sure that your reader's attention is directed toward one
of several items in a photo. You already have the
ability to put a circle around the item or point to it
with an arrow or to put a description near the photo.
Now, you also have the ability to put text directly on
the photo. |
 |
New
Pages
XL Pro Titanium
Edition features a complete new set of pages. These
pages were designed from the ground up based on the
feedback of many of our thousands of inspectors who use
our report systems and feedback from home buyers. The
new pages are easier to read, have a more contemporary
look and make report writing faster and easier than ever
before. |
 |
New
Support for UMPC's
Support handwriting
recognition is just the start. XL Pro titanium
Edition's new pages are optimized for use on the smaller
screens of Ultra Mobile Personal
Computer's. UMPC's are the perfect alternative to
cumbersome, inefficient, difficult to use Pocket PC's.
Pocket PC's are
impractical to use for inspections because of the
difficulties associated with the scaled down operating
systems, small screen size, need for a second PC, and a
host of other deficiencies. UMPC's solve all those
problems and provide all the benefits of a
hand held PC. XL Pro Titanium is the inspection
industry's first reporting software optimized for use on
UMPC's.
Of course, if you are
using a Laptop, Notebook, or Desktop PC, XL Pro Titanium
Edition works equally well on those platforms. In fact
it is the only inspection report software
designed specifically to run on all these platforms.
|
 |
New
Advanced Spelling, Punctuation,
and Grammar Checking
No other inspection report system has the advanced
Spelling and Grammar checking capabilities of XL Pro
Titanium Edition. Highlight any text in the report and
click a button on the XL Pro Command Bar™. It's that
easy! XL Pro Titanium Edition's Spelling Checker will
advise you not only of spelling errors but will make
suggestions for punctuation and grammar too.
|
 |
New
Create Resizable Text Boxes
There are times when a detailed narrative description is
needed. A pre-defined comment just won't do. Now you
have the ability to create a resizable text box directly
from the XL Pro Command Bar. The text box can be placed
directly over any existing comment field or just about
anywhere else on the report. The new Text Box feature
gives you an unprecedented level of control over your
report. |
 |
New
Improved Navigation
With so many sheets
to select from to build your report, you need a way to
quickly view and navigate to pages in the report. XL
Pro Titanium Edition's new navigation system gives you
two method's in which to navigate to pages. You still
have the traditional line-up of page names at the bottom
of the screen in the order that you have them arranged
(to follow the sequence of your inspections). Now you
have a second, lightning fast, alphabetically arranged
drop down menu of page names that allow you to jump
directly to any page in the report.
Another new navigation
tool is the "Home" button on the XL Pro Command Bar.
There are times when you are working on a report that
you want to jump to the beginning of the report. The
Home button instantly takes you directly to the report's
cover page. |
 |
New
Set Standard Report
The ability to define
a standard report and save it as your default or as a
template is one of the most popular features of the
Silver Gold and Platinum Editions but was previously not
available in the Titanium Edition. |
| |
|
|
|
Home or Commercial Inspections
The only PC based report available that has everything you need to
perform residential or commercial inspections |
| |
|
The report is completely
configurable for almost any type of building you can think of.
Whether you are inspecting a single family home, condo, apartment
building, retail store, office building, or manufacturing plant, the
report can be configured within minutes to match the building type.
It is so easy to configure that you can configure it to a particular
building type on-the-fly while doing an inspection - with no
appreciable time loss. The report comes pre-configured for a single
family home. |
|
Comments Library
10,000+
Comments and Descriptors in 99 Categories |
| |
|
The most powerful
feature of the Report is its built-in fully editable library of
more than 10,000 pre-defined comments and field descriptors in
111 Categories. |
| |
|
If by some chance you
don't find a comment from among the thousands available, you can
permanently add your custom comments and descriptors to the
library. The Comments Library is expandable to nearly 20,000
comments and descriptors! You can also type directly into a
comment or descriptor field without permanently adding it to the
Library. |
| |
|
Drop-downs
No need to
touch the keyboard |
| |
|
Every descriptor and
every comments field in the report contains a drop down box of
predefined descriptions and comments. Literally tens of
millions of combinations are available. |
| |
|
If by some chance you
don't find a comment from among the thousands available, you can
permanently add your custom comments and descriptors to the
library. The Comments Library is expandable to nearly 20,000
comments and descriptors! You can also type directly into a
comment or descriptor field without permanently adding it to the
Library. |
| |
|
a
Quick and Easy
Check Boxes
No need to touch
the keyboard |
| |
|
Double click on a checkbox
and a check mark will appear in the box. Right click on a check box
and an "X" will appear in the box. To clear a check mark or X mark
from a checkbox, either double click on it or right click on it and
mark will be removed. |
| |
|
Insert Photos
Easiest and
fastest in the industry |
| |
|
Double click on a photo box
to bring up a "browse" window. Double click on the photo file and
it will automatically be inserted, sized and aligned for you. |
| |
|
Click on a button located at
the bottom of each and insert a black arrow, red arrow, red circle,
or text box on your photo to highlight defects. The entire process
to insert a photo, and place all four elements (a red arrow, a black
arrow, a red circle, and a text box) on it can be accomplished in a
mere 10 seconds! |
| |
|
Auto Summary Page
A feature
usually only found in reports costing hundreds more |
| |
|
Each major section of
the report has comments sections where you can place comments
that will appear both on the subject page and on the
Auto-Summary Page. In addition to the Auto-Summary Page, there
are two additional Summary Page options, including one that
allows you to mix a narrative summary with photos on the same
page. |
| |
|
Comments Library
10,000+ Comments
and Descriptors in 99 Categories |
| |
|
The most powerful feature of
the Report is its built-in fully editable library of more than
10,000 pre-defined comments and field descriptors in 111
Categories. Every descriptor and every comments field in the report
contains a drop down box of predefined descriptions and comments.
Literally tens of millions of combinations are available.
|
| |
|
If by some chance you don't
find a comment from among the thousands available, you can
permanently add your custom comments and descriptors to the
library. The Comments Library is expandable to more than nearly
100,000 comments and descriptors! You can also type directly into
any comment or descriptor field without permanently adding it to the
Library. |
| |
|
Brand Names
More than 200
popular equipment manufacturers |
| |
|
Many inspectors include
brand names of major appliances, HVAC, and Electrical
equipment. The comments library includes more than 200 common
brand names, Trade Names, and manufacturers. And, like all
sections of the Comments Library, you can continue to expand the
number of items listed by name. |
| |
|
Spell Check
A single word or
an entire page |
| |
|
One of the most requested
features we have had with our older reporting system is the ability
to do spell checking on comments fields and the summary page. You
now have the ability to run spell check on every page of the
report. Of course, you may not ever need it because you can
complete a report almost without ever having to touch the keyboard.
|
| |
|
Printing
Advanced
print interface |
| |
|
Because this report
is so highly configurable, the chances of any two inspectors
having exactly the same report are almost zero. Of the 20
pages of the basic report, some inspectors may configure the
report to only be 8-10 pages, some may use every one of the
22 pages of the report. We have provided you with a quick
and easy way to select and print only the pages you need.
|
| |
|
You can print any
page from a button on that page or you can click on a button
on the first page that gives you a menu of available pages
to print. Simply click on the circle next to each page and
press print. All the pages you need and only the pages you
need will print. Any combination of pages can be selected
and sent to the printer in about 5 seconds. |
|

Power Factor Correction - 3
Calculators in one
New feature!
Allows you to
choose either Voltage and Amperage input or Wattage input.
Most PF
calculators require you to enter wattage information but with this
calculator you have a choice.
You can enter
only the current and voltage. No separate wattmeter is
required.
Or,
if you prefer, you can enter the Wattage instead of the current and
voltage.
Then, enter the PF
(actual if you know it or from motor nameplate information) and the
calculator will tell you how many kVAr's to put on-line to achieve
the PF you want.
The PF
Correction calculator can also be used to select transformers.
Instructions are included in the PF Calculator to determine
transformer size.

Destroying Insects
Volume 1
Termites and Powder Post Beetles
On CD!
New! Published April 2005 |
|
 |
Wood
Destroying Insects volume 1: Termites and Powder Post
Beetles
Featuring
more than
500
original photographs
from actual
home inspections performed by Best Inspector Network™
members, of wood destroying insect evidence and damage found
during home inspections. |
|
Most books and
training manuals will show you a photograph of a problem
but, even though it may be an excellent photograph, it is
difficult for you to learn from it how to identify the
problem in the field. The reason is that most training
manuals do not show the problem in its full and proper
context. The photo collections in our training CD's walk
you through the houses and to the problems. It is as close
to being there as you can get. You will get the feel that
you have walked into the houses in these photo series and
found the problem just as you would have done had you
inspected the houses yourself.
This CD will
walk you through five houses ranging in age from about 30
years to more than 100 years and a 150 year old church, each
invested with either termites, powder post beetles, or
carpenter ants. One house in the collection was a home
inspectors worst nightmare. It almost had it all; termites,
carpenter ants, wood destroying organisms, mice, rats, and a
host of other non WDI/WDO problems. About the only thing it
didn't have was carpenter bees. By the time you have
finished browsing through the more than 500 photos on this
CD, you will never again look at a piece of wood the same
way again. You will have an entirely new sense of awareness
of termites and powder post beetles and the damage they can
do.
Even if you do
not do WDI or WDO inspections, your clients expect you as a
home inspector to be able to identify damage, understand
what caused it, and explain it to them. Many inspectors
fail to recognize these problems, especially when the
problems are in their infancy. Anyone can recognize major
damage after it already exists but it takes a skilled
inspector to be able to identify many defects and
deficiencies before they actually cause damage or before the
damage is visible to the untrained eye. This entertaining
and educational series of photos collections will help you
develop the skills you need. |
