Data Collection and Analysis Software for Force Measurement Tools

Knowing how to use the right tools is one of the most important parts of measuring force. You won’t get very far if you don’t have all the hardware, tools, or a force gauge you need to measure the data you need to get. The same is true for software that gathers and analyzes data. That data needs to be presented clearly in a spreadsheet or graph style so that you can properly examine it and do the calculations that need to be done. You can achieve this with dependable data collection and analysis software.

The good news is that the best companies that make hardware for measuring force also make software that is built to work with their own hardware. Both Mark-10 and Chatillon make software that can be used to collect and analyze data. You can buy this software right here at CSC Force Measurement. All of this information helps our clients pick out the hardware and software they need to quickly analyze and use important data. To get the best results, programs are made to work with the specifics and needs of brand-name instruments and tools.

Hardware and Software from Mark-10

If your customers like Mark-10 instruments and tools, MESUR Gauge and MESUR Gauge Plus data collection and analysis software can help you get the most out of your force and torque measuring instruments and test stands and make them do more. MESUR Gauge Plus can track and show data in a graph for estimates of load vs. time or load vs. travel vs. time. It also has improved controls for moving Mark-10 motorized test stands. This control lets the user combine motion control and data collection to speed up the process and make it easier to gather important data and study it for work purposes.

Both of these Mark-10 software choices come with a set of tools, such as the ability to quickly send data to Microsoft Excel. They also come with statistical calculations, pass/fail signs, customizable reports, and other important features. Users can make their own test sets that can be saved and used again at a later time. You can also set variables for when the test starts and stops, such as time, distance, load, and sample break. Some Mark-10 gauges can be set up from a PC so that advanced real-time load and trip data can be collected and analyzed. You can test the MESUR Gauge and MESUR Gauge Plus apps without a device by using a built-in tool that creates fake data. With the ESM303, ESM303H, ESM750, ESM750S, ESM1500, and ESM1500S motorized test stands, you can use controls to fully control movements and take data with just one click.

Collect and Analyze Data with Chatillon

If the customer wants to use Chatillon brand tools and equipment, they should use Chatillon ForceTest software to look at data and do basic math and statistics calculations. It’s easy to use, runs on Windows, and comes with a full data processing package that can be used with digital force and torque tools from the Chatillon brand. The app connects directly to the digital force gauge, so a PC can be used to do tests and instantly make graphs. You can see the test results right away, see live graphs, and keep an eye on things from a screen while the test is going. This force measurement software has a bright and easy-to-understand user interface that makes it easy to set up and use for tensile, compression, torque, peel, and friction tests.

Basic force measurement tasks, such as pull-to-limit, pull-to-break, compress-to-rupture, and compress-to-limit, can be done quickly and easily with just a few clicks. Pre-test questions can help to improve performance and results even more. They can show information in the live graph, such as average force, total time, maximum force, limit force, and peak force. Data from the Chatillon data collection and analysis software is shown in spreadsheet format. The results of the tests can be copied directly to Excel for further editing. You can also send graphs and test results straight to Word or PDF, based on what the user needs. This Windows-based software works with the newest versions of Windows 8 and 10 and can be used to replace the famous NEXYGEN DF software. It works with the Chatillon DFE II and DFS II Series as well as the older DFE I and DFS I Series.
