  • If the transfer is successful, a new window will appear informing you of the number of credits transferred into the Calibrator. The number of credits you purchased is stored in our database, and your Credit Card will be processed shortly with the details you provided when you obtained a Login name and Password

If the process is successful, the Calibrator will now contain the number of credits you selected. You can verify this by selecting “Brake Meter Calibration” from the Calibrator menu and checking the display of credits remaining. You will not be able to purchase any more credits until the credit card transaction is processed and the database is updated.
