Software Technical Features

Test Playback: The software automatically records the entire testing process and offers intelligent retrieval capabilities using multiple search methods. Users can trace back to tests conducted during any specific period to restore data, replay test curves, and view or analyze the specific details of the samples under inquiry.
Curve Display: Capable of displaying four types of curves — Force-Time, Force-Distance, Distance-Time, and Stress-Strain. These curves feature adjustable scales, zoom functionality, and support for text or symbol annotations; they also allow for automatic color switching and the automatic calculation of relevant data points and selected graph areas.
Comparative Analysis: Users can simultaneously select up to five current or historical test results (including function curves and measurement data) for comparative analysis.
Algorithmic Analysis & Output: Guided by system prompts, the software can strictly, objectively, and systematically generate test reports in various data formats, including Excel, Word, and PDF.
Metrological Verification Modules: Dedicated modules for the metrological verification of force measurement accuracy and deformation/displacement accuracy, featuring automated functions for measurement, calculation, correction, and self-repair.
Technical Support: Users can access any necessary tips, routines, explanations, methodologies, or external links via the drop-down menu within the software's "Help" section. A comprehensive library comprising dozens of classic case studies and a collection of 20 practical instructional videos are provided to help you quickly become an expert in materials property analysis.
Dual-Language Interface: Available in both Chinese and English, allowing for seamless, one-click switching between the two languages.
