Test Reports
A Single Test Report and a Group Test Report can be printed from the Advanced Digital Controller. The Group Test Report is a tabular printout of a group of like tests. The report includes date, time, specimen ID#, specimen area and length plus all calculated test parameters. A statistical summary of all test results is also provided.
Facing is a sample of a Single Test Report. Included in the plot header is date, time, specimen ID#, specimen area and length plus all calculated test parameters. Prior to printing a Single Test Report, the operator defines the graph axes from the list of active channels. Both reports can be output to an HP DeskJet/LaserJet printer connected directly to the Precise or can be downloaded to a remote PC running the WinCOM Plus Data Communications and Plotting program.

Simple Menu Driven Programming
Intuitive menu hierarchy insures fast learning curve in setting up test procedures, specifying servo control profiles in
servo control systems and selecting analyses:

Test Procedure Setup
Threshold : Specify the load at which data logging begins
End of Test : Input as a percentage of peak load a value that defines the end of test
Specimen Type : Select specimen type and input specimen dimensions
Engineering Units : Specify load, position and strain units
Live XY Graph : Select which active channel (load, position, or strain) to display on X and Y axis of the graph.
Load Cell No. : Select which load cell calibration to use for a test procedure. The Precise can store up to 6 load cell calibrations
Position : Activate position channel
Extn No. : Select which extensometer calibration to use for a test procedure. The Precise can store up to 6 extensometer calibrations

Servo Control Setup
Test Profile : Specify up to two servo control steps under load, position or strain control
Home Rate : Input speed for returning home
Jog Rate : Input speed for manual jogging of test frame
Post Test : Specify post test action to stop or automatically return to home position
Control Gains : Specify PID gains for servo tuning of load, position and strain channels

Analysis
Select Analysis : Select which analyses to calculate including peak load/stress, modulus of elasticity, offset yield, percent elongation and more
Elastic Slope Pts : Select automatic or manual calculation of elastic modulus
Auto Freeze : Select autofreeze to automatically freeze the extensometer channel when sufficient data has been collected to calculate all of the requested analyses
Re-Calculate : After test is complete, recalculate analysis results. Useful when it is desired to change an analysis setup parameter

Servo Control Precise Digital Controlle
Specify up to a 2 segment control profile under load, position or strain control. This is useful in running procedures in accordance with ASTM specifications for the elastic portion of the test curve then switching to accelerated rate after sample yield until sample break is achieved.
