709 Alignment Software
MTS 709 Alignment system includes the hardware and software to acquire,
analyze, and display bending strains for alignment and bending strain verification
purposes. Its graphical interface allows you to quickly align your system or
verify how much bending strain is being applied to the specimen. One of the key
attributes of this software is that it can separate the bending strain of the
specimen from that of the tensile strain.
The best method of determining bending strain is to use a strain-gaged specimen.
The software interfaces directly with a strain-gaged specimen and displays
bending strain graphically on the monitor of your PC. Continual scanning of
bending strains allows you to align your system or verify the bending strain at
various levels that will occur during the test. For reports, a text data file can be
written to disk and opened in Microsoft Excel for further analysis and customer
report generation.
709 Alignment software requires an alignment specimen with a 37-pin
D-connector. The software also requires Windows 2000 or later and a dedicated
RJ45 ethernet connector. Calibrated load can be displayed with an analog I/O
channel.This is required for some certifications such as ASTM E1012. Thin and
thick flat specimens, as well as round specimens are supported.
The 709 Alignment System includes data acquisition with conditioning,
software, a manual, and connections for ethernet, analog I/O, and an alignment
specimen. See
on page 27 for addition information.
