The Maxwell Client bridges the gap between the browser and your computer, and directly supports most of the common measuring instruments in the industry. Upon measuring a target, the Maxwell Client automatically uploads the measurement directly into Maxwell Tracks for immediate use anywhere in the world.

One of the latest features of the Maxwell Client is the ability to compare measurements from individual prints to a standard or reference, and then print a label indicating whether the print passes or fails the reference.

Here is a quick overview of how to use the Pass / Fail feature in the Maxwell Client.
