Nexygen MT v4.5 is used to control the company's Plus, EZ and LR universal testing machine ranges and supports the comprehensive range of Chatillon digital force gauges available.
The powerful new security features, developed with medical and pharmaceutical industries in mind, will benefit all industries.
The supervisor can set the desired level of access for operators, who must login at all times, and safeguards have been introduced to prevent the unauthorised use of passwords.
The software now records details of all logins and logouts, and when each test is created, changed, deleted or aborted.
These powerful audit trails are time stamped to provide an accurate history of data.
Automatic saving and archiving ensures no data is ever lost, and report print outs now include the date, time, user ID, system ID, location ID or other supervisor-defined parameter.
Video capture and playback is ideal for training and research.
Here, users can video record live tests in action then play them back simultaneously during results analysis, making it a powerful visual aid.
Other benefits include a new clear integrated HTML help system, improved test setups (particularly for metals tests), machine stiffness compensation on certain machines for enhanced data accuracy, and new reporting and exporting features.
For users of LabView platforms (from National Instruments), flexible materials testing control functions are now only a fingertip away with the company's newly developed interface driver fully incorporated.
Interface support is also provided for the new Mitutoyo, Mettler Balance and Heidenhain gauges.
