DESCRIPTION

GCTS Uniaxial Testing Systems include our state-of-the-art SCON-1500 Digital Signal Conditioning & Servo Controller CATS software. The system is capable of performing static and dynamic closed-loop load, deformation, strain or any other measured or calculated parameter. Automatic “bump-less” or smooth control transfer can be programmed at any test stage. The true 32-bit Windows XP Software allows sending directly your test data to any computer connected to your local network. Using a Windows network system in your lab facilitates the transferring of your test data directly into other Windows programs such as Word or Excel for report generation as well as to easily backup your important test results
