4、 Introduction to System Software
4.1 Experimental mode program editing function; Run, preset, repeat, loop, clear, zero, assign, variable, formula, calculate, replay, compare, annotate, etc. By editing these program commands, various detection modes can be implemented, various experimental models can be built, and required experimental data can be obtained.
4.2 Graphic display editing function, the system can display three types of curves: force time, force distance, and distance time. The curve contains scales that can be locally scaled or automatically adjusted by the system. It can also annotate key data points and automatically calculate the area of the selected graph domain.
4.3 Test replay: The software automatically records the entire test process and can synchronously enable the instrument's built-in recording and photo screenshot functions (saving important sample test videos). And provide multi condition intelligent retrieval. Traceable experiments from any period can be used for data restoration, curve drawing, and synchronized video playback to view and analyze the experimental details of the queried samples.
4.4 The software can simultaneously compare and analyze the function curves and measurement data of 5 experimental results, and submit a report.
4.5 The software has a powerful result output function: it can generate test reports in various data formats, such as Excel, Word, and PDF, strictly and objectively based on prompts. And supports A4 or A3 output and printing.
4.6 Software operation interface friendly: menu bar, toolbar, status bar, display bar, curve box, clear experimental process, convenient and fast control buttons.
4.7 The software provides two operating systems, Chinese and English, with one click switching.
4.8 The software provides more than ten testing methods: single compression, cyclic testing, relaxation testing, creep testing, full texture testing, tensile testing, bending testing, shear testing, puncture testing, freezing strength testing, etc. The system supports custom unlimited addition of test modes.
4.9 The software provides a program unit for metrological verification of measurement accuracy, and has automatic measurement, automatic calibration, and automatic repair functions.
