Wincom Live features peak, average and slope/rate calculations, generates hardcopy printouts, stores and recalls test data, and exports data to common spreadsheet programs for further data analysis
Admet has launched Wincom Live, a Labview-based program for real-time plotting of force-extension curves on a Microsoft Windows-based PC.
Wincom Live is available for use with Admet's Precise digital and EP digital controllers which work with the full range of Admet universal testing machines (UTMs).
"Our customers were asking for a lower cost Windows-based materials testing system that has the ability to view a real-time XY curve, perform basic calculations, store test data to disk and export to common spreadsheet programs.
"To fill that need, Admet now offers Wincom Live as an option with its standalone controllers," commented Richard Gedney, Admet founder and president.
"We also found that many test labs were comfortable modifying Labview virtual instruments as a means of customising testing software to meet their needs.
"Experienced programmers can also purchase Wincom0 Live as a virtual instrument for customisation".
Wincom Live communicates with Admet's digital controllers via an RS232 serial port.
Future versions will have the ability to upload test procedures to/from the EP and Precise digital controllers.
This will simplify testing for users when they need to quickly and frequently switch between multiple test procedures.
Admet's optional Wincom Live interface for its Precise digital controller and EP digital controller units includes a run-time license for the software.
It is priced at US$750 and is available immediately.
Admet continues to offer the Wincom Plus data communications and plotting program, as well as Mtestwindows, a PC-based, networkable materials testing system for local control, recording and reporting of tensile, compression and torsion tests.
