XL Pro Titanium Edition is a powerful and comprehensive reporting system for professional home and commercial inspectors built with one of the most popular programming languages ever, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

Titanium Edition is better than ever with the new version 8.

Here's what's new in Titanium Edition 8

	Auto-summary Previously only available in high-end inspection report software, Titanium Edition now includes the Total Control Summary generator.  Tag a comment for inclusion in the Summary and TCS will take you to the Summary page where you select exactly where you want the comment to appear.  All you do is click a the OK button and your comment will be in the Summary.  You will instantly return to where you were working.  No other Auto-summary gives you the power and flexibility of Titanium Edition's TCS Auto-summary feature.
	Omission Guard Missing something on an inspection is one of the biggest fears of most inspectors.  Three out of four inspectors go home or to the office to complete their reports.  The main reason cited for not doing inspection reports on-site is a fear of missing something.  Titanium Edition's Omission Guard makes it almost impossible to miss anything.  Every comment field is highlighted in RED until a check box indicating "Inspected", "Not inspected" or "Not present" is checked.  That's not all.  If you accidentally check two conflicting checkboxes such as "Inspected" and "Not inspected", the comment field for that item will also be highlighted in RED. Omission Guard also fills any fields marked as "Not present" with light gray shading making it easier for you to complete the report and easier for the the home buyer to read it.
	Rapid Page Fill There are times when you inspect a room or a system and everything is OK, there are no defects or deficiencies to report.   There may be times when an entire system is not present.  In such cases, you want to be able to complete the page related to that system or room as quickly as possible. Titanium Edition's new Rapid Page Fill allows you to check all check boxes in a column with a single click of the mouse.  Click the Rapid Fill checkbox once to place a checkmark in all checkboxes, click it a second time and it will fill all the boxes with an X, click it again to clear all the checkboxes.
	Windows Vista and Office 2007 Ready Most new PCs sold at the big box retailers such as Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, and so on are only being sold with Microsoft Windows Vista and the only versions of Microsoft Office they are selling are the 2007 Editions. XL Pro Titanium Edition version 8 now works with any edition of Windows XP or Vista and any edition of Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007.

The BestInspectors.Net XL Pro Series of Inspection Reports generate an unlimited number of plain paper or PDF reports.  Unlike other computer based systems, this report does not require special preprinted forms.  It is suitable for use in the field on a laptop, notebook, tablet PC or UMPC.  It can be printed in your office and completed in the field on plain paper.  There are no subscription fees, per copy fees, or any hidden fees of any kind. The report is customizable with the inspector's name or company name.

Most home inspectors and many experienced electricians guess at the electrical service size requirements using rules of thumb (usually involving only square footage).  With the rapid growth in the number of electrical appliances and electronic equipment during the past few years, making a guess could be a costly mistake. 

The Residential Electrical Service Size Calculator takes the guesswork completely out of determining the electrical service size requirement.  The Calculator requires no special knowledge of electrical systems or codes.  All you do is make basic observations about the house and fill in the blanks.  The Calculator lets you enter electrical loads in either Amps or Watts.  the required information can almost always be found on the nameplates of appliances and mechanical equipment.

The Calculator will tell the "Demand Load" (a trade term, different from "connected" load), the nearest standard size panel and main breaker, the conductor (wire) size and the conduit size.    

The Calculator's worksheet can be filled out in about three to four minutes and can be included with any inspection in PDF format.      

Features of the Calculator:
-Automatically calculates the total demand load for a residential single family dwelling
- provides the demand load in both volt-amperes and Amperes
- Automatically adds the minimum of small appliance and laundry branch circuits
- Automatically determines the heating and air conditioning demand load
- Determines the standard service panel size for the system
- Determines the service wire gauges in both aluminum and copper
- Calculations are based on the National Electrical Code (optional method)
- NEC section references under each heading

NOTE: This worksheet is intended to be used as a general guide.  It does not account for all possible factors involved in determining the size of an electrical service. Consult a qualified electrician or the NEC® for additional information.

The calculator is essentially an Ohm's Law calculator.  The difference between the BestInspectors.Net  Voltage, Current and Power calculator and most Ohm's Law calculators is that Ohm's Law calculators are usually geared toward electronics, not power systems.  This calculator is for power distribution systems.  The calculator has a Power Factor component to it.  Most Ohm's Law calculators do not.  Calculations can be performed quickly and easily using name plate data or actual measurements.

The calculator is also a training calculator.  There is a list of relevant electrical terms and units of measure on the screen at all times.  Every time you enter a value, the related terms are highlighted.  Once you have entered the values needed to complete the calculations, the remaining input fields are blacked out so you don't inadvertently enter a conflicting value.  For example, if you have entered Voltage and Wattage values, the Current input field is blacked out so you can't insert an invalid value.  The Current in this case would be among the calculated values in the results section.
