Which UV Lamp Tester to Buy

Hi PrintPlanet folk;
My company is getting ready to replace our ANCIENT UV lamp tester. We use it to check the intensity of UV emitted by any of the bulbs we use in our curing processes.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which products to consider?
Our current device is no longer supported by its manufacturer. Apparently its battery wore out, and now it needs its software re-loaded; which constitutes a $400, 3-4 week long trip overseas. Which will also obviously need to happen again and again as each new battery wears out...

Here are our concerns going forward:
We need a product that comes with a copy of its software (if applicable) that we can reload here if need be.
We would also need to be able to re-calibrate the instrument in-house if need be.
It needs to be a portable unit that we can move around from station to station to check each curing area.
We are on a super-tight budget in our shop so the cheaper the better.
And are there special cords or attachments required for any of the above operations that are not included in the purchase price?

Also, I am not sure if this covers all of the issues that need to be considered in our purchase, so any feedback on that is also greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any input you can contribute.
Peace to the PrintPlanet!
