The user chooses the test to be performed on the touch screen. The
clamps automatically drive into position. Now the sample support is
placed into the space between the clamps and the sample is placed.
The sample is automatically detected and the clamps close. According
the test the sample is either watered for the pre-set time, pulled out
of the water and stretched till it breaks or it is directly stretched.
The figures, curves, statistics with max, min, mean as well as the
standard deviation are shown on the touch screen and can be printed.
The clamps automatically open and return into start position after
testing.
The software comes with the pre-installed tests as they are described
in the standards. Company specific tests can be set as well.
All the parameters like testing speed, testing length, breaking- and
pre-load levels can be adjusted individually. The software can be set
into different languages.
