Jalen, Full disclosure: I worked for PAS earlier in my career. I would recommend at least comparing Foxray against te competitive product, Integrity from PAS. It was endorsed by Invensys last I checked. I cannot comment on the latest revisions, but I was keenly aware of the capabilities when I worked at PAS and feel it warrants a kick of the tires.
