Easily connect and perform detailed system evacuations with your BluVac+ Pro, BluVac+ LTE, and BluVac+ Micro vacuum gauges via Bluetooth. With the BluVac+ Pro, you can perform timed evacuation and decay tests, set target times, and view detailed results. For BluVac+ LTE and Micro, quickly record and display essential data. The app now features mQ Assist integration for evacuation guidance, an improved interface, and geolocation tracking for enhanced screenshots.
