VectorPro Software

VectorPro is a dedicated software solution used for the programming and acquisition of data from a range of Mecmesin test stands and instruments.

The software enables users to capture data from Mecmesin test stands and instruments, perform calculations and export/report calculations and test data. In addition, VectorPro can provide secure audit trails and user management systems. Operation sequences can be constructed by intuitive drag-and-drop control, with test editing including versioning control for full traceability. The test attributes system can be used to store information such as lists, notes and images.

Software version

VectorPro is at version 12.4 as of 2 November 2026.

Summary of changes

  • Faster test setup: Operations within test timelines can now be copied and pasted, reducing repetitive configuration and simplifying the creation of test programmes.
  • Improved file exporting: Exported files can now be saved to SharePoint locations, making it easier to store and share test information.
  • Easier workspace navigation: A new search bar allows users to quickly find workspace tiles without manually navigating through the workspace.
  • Simplified database access: Recently used or opened databases can now be accessed more easily, helping users switch between databases.
  • Clearer report results: Updated tick and cross colours improve the visibility and readability of pass/fail indicators in reports.
  • More flexible Active Directory integration: Group configuration now supports more flexible naming conventions, removing previous restrictions associated with the Prefix_VectorPro and Prefix_VectorPro_suffix formats.
  • Greater control over test validation: New reference sample pre-validation requires operators to test a reference sample before testing begins. If validation fails, test definitions can be adjusted and the reference sample retested. Test definitions can only be locked once validation has passed.
  • Customisable report layouts: Users can now adjust the layout and arrangement of report information to better suit their reporting requirements.
