Data logging and report generation

To control experiments and collect data, 522 Systems uses a proprietary Windows®-based control and material testing software system that complies with ASTM specifications. This powerful package provides a user-friendly interface to set system test parameters and analyze data. Specimen dimensions and properties are defined along with strain rates and thresholds (load, elongation, time), which are then used to perform automated tests and calculations.

These parameters are easily saved so they can be used again for future tests. Test results are provided in real time and stress-strain curves are generated while testing is in progress. Key parameters such as peak load/stress, yield points, modulus of elasticity and other measurements are saved and displayed on the screen at the completion of the test. Raw test data and results can be exported in standard formats, making it easy to integrate with other data analysis, reporting and laboratory management systems.
