* XLI System Price includes the required sub meter GPS system, but not the $920.00 annual OmniStar Correction
service, all other systems require $4,500 Sub meter GPS system upgrade for comparable performance.

XLI also eliminates engineer time to process / analyze data through automation of the data processing that is
available for an ongoing data processing fee

Spectrum XLI is a family of products specifically developed for the Indirect Inspection of pipelines XLI Office
as part of the External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) process. XLI Office suite is a PC software
product for the processing, correlation and analysis of indirect inspection survey data. XLI Field is a XLI Office is specialized software for the processing, correlation and analysis of indirect inspection
collection of specialized instruments for the collection of Indirect Inspection data. survey data. The XLI Falcon software can import and automatically process and analyze XLI Field
data, as well as data files from most common CIS / ECDA inspection survey data loggers. There is also
The XLI Indirect Inspection surveys include: a universal data template that can be used to import any of the ECDA Indirect Inspection data types
handled by XLI.
GPS - GPS Centerline
DOC - Depth of Cover The advantages of XLI Office and the Falcon software are:
ROW – Right of Way Condition, Inventory using standardized descriptions • Increased speed of data processing; reduce data processing, alignment and analysis from hours
ACCA - AC Coating Attenuation to minutes!
ACVG - AC Voltage Gradient • Collect the data in any order or direction, Falcon automatically sorts it out
DCVG – DC Voltage Gradient • Increased accuracy of results through code driven analysis.
CIS - Close Interval Survey (Cathodic Protection) • Increased functionality through comprehensive correlation of multiple survey data sets in one
Water Crossing Profile universal format.
Gas Leak Detection • Increased flexibility though standardized exports of processed data.
