Description: |
| |
The
CT 500 range of twin column, computer controlled universal
materials testing machine using Testometric's feature-rich
winTest™ software running under the Windows™ operating
system. Test setups are fully configurable and simple or
more complex multi-stage test routines are controlled using
the standard PC serial interface. |

Software: |
|
|
Comprehensive winTest™ Analysis universal windows software covering tensile, compression, peel, shear, tear, cyclic, creep and multi stage testing. It includes a wide range of industry standard test methods and facility to create and store an unlimited number of further test methods. There is automated storage of all test data and ease of export to other software packages such as word, excel, access and SPC systems for enhanced report generation. winTest™ Reports is an enhancement to winTest Analysis to add flexibility to data analysis and statistical reporting. The package provides a report generation capability that can include long-term statistics and control charts for all specified calculations. winTest Reports™ can also be configured to display headings, titles, company logos, graphs, charts, pop-up menus and specific technical information. |
