DP-CA-10HS Texture Tester

DP-CA-10HS Texture Tester

Product advantages

1. Using the touch keyboard as an auxiliary key is both handy and more convenient for testing.
2. The force sensing element can be replaced quickly and safely. Through the conversion of the force sensing element, the detection range can be changed, and the sensing resolution can be changed to adapt to different sample analyses.
3. Provides video and picture capture functions, which can record the entire test of important samples, display it in the software window synchronously with other test data and strain curves of the test, and save it synchronously in a traceable database.
4. The data collection rate of 3000 sets per second can capture the precise moment when the sample changes, rejecting missed or misjudgments.

• Power accuracy verification measurement and automatic correction: The instrument provides precision measurement and verification control interface. Through the detection of 5 consecutive standard samples, the test data determined to be qualified or out of tolerance are directly displayed on the software. The instrument automatically completes measurement and calibration through data algorithms, and prints data by itself.

• Print measurement reports and store the data in the audit database at the same time.

• Deformation displacement accuracy verification measurement and automatic correction: The instrument comes standard with a displacement accuracy measurement operation interface, which communicates with the software through an electronic dial indicator to determine whether the test data is qualified or out of tolerance and directly displayed on the software. The instrument automatically completes measurement and calibration through data algorithms, and prints measurement reports by itself. The data is also stored in the audit database.

• Test methods: (More than a dozen test methods are provided)

Single compression, cycle test, compression retention test, relaxation characteristic test, creep characteristic test, full texture test, tensile test, compression test, bending test, shear test, puncture test, meat tenderness test, freezing strength test, Carrageenan-surimi gel-codran gum-agar strength-hydrophilic gel test, flour product test, rice product test, aquatic product test, adhesion test, compression modulus, elastic modulus test, etc. The software also supports quick customization of adding test modes.

Introduction to system software

• Comprehensive test mode program editing functions; run, preset, repeat, cycle, clear, zero calibration, assignment, variables, formulas, calculation, playback, comparison, annotation, etc. Through the editing of these program commands, various detection modes can be realized, various test models can be built, and various required test data can be obtained.

• Test playback: The software automatically records the entire test process (including synchronous recording), and provides multi-method intelligent retrieval. Tests of any period can be traced for data restoration, curve redrawing and synchronous video playback, and the test details of the queried sample can be viewed and analyzed.

• The software can simultaneously select 5 current or historical test results (function curves, measurement data, and synchronized recordings) for comparison and analysis.

• The software can realize the overlay display of multiple texture curves in different colors, making it convenient and intuitive to compare and analyze the results of multiple experiments.

• Data analysis: The software can display four function curves: force ~ time, force ~ distance, distance ~ time, and stress ~ strain. The curve contains a scale, which can be arbitrarily scaled locally or automatically adjusted by the system. At the same time, key data points can be automatically marked. During data analysis, any area of the selected graph domain, any required data point parameters, Automatically calculate results (including curves, superimposed curves, pictures and data) and automatically generate and export Excel/Word/PDF files.

• The system software of DP-CA-10HS has more in-depth solutions and descriptions for each test. In addition to the regular test mode, extended and customized program editing and practice are also prepared for users. Customized reports and test charts can be easily created; test data can be directly exported to Excel/Word/PDF and other formats, and operations such as data export, graphing, saving, comparison, and professional report generation can be performed.

• The software supports detection modes: timing, fixed displacement, fixed load, single cycle, multi-cycle, compression, stretching, puncture, shear, bending, extrusion, gluing, tearing, holding, intermittent, rupture, breakage, relaxation , creep, custom modeling, and more.

• The software operation interface is friendly: the menu bar, tool bar, status bar, display bar, curve box, video box, and experimental process are clear, and the control buttons are convenient and fast.

• The software provides two operating systems, Chinese and English, which can be switched with one click.

• The software technical support function is powerful. Users can find any tips, routines, analysis, methods or links you need in the drop-down menu of the "Help" column of the software. Provides 24 classic case methods for major testing categories and 20 practical teaching videos to help you quickly become an expert in physical property analysis.

•  The software has a copyright certificate approved by the National Copyright Administration of the People's Republic of China. The full name of the software is "Texture Analyzer Control Analysis Software". The software has the functions of operation, control and data analysis of the texture analyzer. Software data analysis algorithms: including but not limited to principal component analysis algorithm, linear discriminant analysis algorithm and partial least squares regression algorithm. In this way, quantitative measurement and evaluation of human senses and instruments can be realized, and the mechanical characteristics of the sample can be obtained, thereby helping the tester to obtain relatively accurately; the storage period, freshness, texture quality, fermentation time, chewing characteristics and other reference basis of the sample.
