Data Acquisition System
STRAINSMART SOFTWARE FEATURES
• Complete Windows-based software designed for the
experimental stress analyst.
• Easy-to-use StrainSmart Wizards for fast test setup and for
data acquisition, reduction, and presentation.
• Sensor-specific assignment of inputs (strain gages,
thermocouples, etc.), as well as user-defined assignments
for mathematical manipulation of measurement data.
• One-touch autobalance.
• Shunt calibration of strain-gage inputs.
• Reduced data available offline as Paradox data tables,
ASCII text, HTML or Microsoft Office (Word, Excel,
Access) document, or online by OLE Automation
connection to spreadsheets, word processors, LabView,
and other third-party applications.
• Online interactive Help system.
• Test setup and commonly used parameters available for
saving and reuse for subsequent testing.
ACQUISITION/REDUCTION/PRESENTATION
• Data reduction for delta, rectangular, and tee rosettes,
including the conversion of principal strains to stresses.
• Calculation of equivalent stresses for common failure
mode criteria.
• Online monitoring of key channels and/or rosettes in fully
reduced and corrected numeric and graphic formats.
• Offline presentation of all reduced data in numeric and
graphical formats.
• FFT analysis (System 6000 and System 7000).
• Thermal output compensation.
• Correction for temperature coefficient of gage factor.
• Wheatstone bridge nonlinearity correction.
• Transverse sensitivity correction.
• Thermocouple linearization.
• Scaling for number of active bridge arms.
• Data storage for later analysis and processing.
• Record on limits or user-defined time intervals.
• Automatic audit trail.
• Self calibration (System 7000).
• Barcode input of strain gage datasheet information.
