    • Ethernet port for PC / Internet /network communication
    • Optional integrated graphic printer including Load-Time plot (for standard failure tests)
    • RS 232 port for data downloadingin ASCII format
    Firmware
    • Execution of compression, flexure, indirect tensile, ACV tests, Elastic Modulus, Poisson Ratio Determination and Displacement-controlled tests (with 50-FW/DC) in automatic mode with load rate controlled by a closed-loop PID system.
    • Simultaneous display of:
      - load, stress, actual load rate, load / time graph in standard failure tests
      - load, stress, strain, stress / strain graph in Elastic Modulus and Poisson ratio tests
      - load, displacement, load / displacement in displacement controlled tests (with 50-FW/DC)
    • Saving of the specimen failure type (to EN or ASTM) in the test results
    • Automatic performance of Elastic Modulus tests according to the main International Standards with automatic calculation of tests results
    • Execution of displacement controlled tests on beams, notched beams, round or square slabs
    • Download data to internal printer (optional) or to PC via RS 232 port or to USB memory stick
    • PC / network communication via Ethernet
    • Multi-coefficient linearization of the calibration curve for better accuracy at low loads thus avoiding the use of a second pressure transducer
    • Recording facility for up to 9 test profiles for each channel including: type of test (e.g. compression, flexural, indirect tensile, elastic modulus or displacement control), specimen size and shape, test speed and other general information. Each one of the recorded test profiles can be recalled automatically to save time.
    • Improved PID algorithm and multi PID selection. Up to three different PID settings can be tuned for each channel for a variety of materials (e.g. cylinder with neoprene pads, low strength specimens) and test methods (e.g ACV, flexure, elastic modulus, displacement control)
    • Compatible with the newly released DATAMANAGER software, E-Module and D-Control software packages, tailored for construction material testing laboratories, for remote control, real-time data acquisition and results calculation.
    • Peripheral devices integration with Link-LAB
    • Automatic load measurement verification procedure, by connecting suitable load cells and our digital readout unit to PC
    • Language selection (including Cyrillic and Chinese)
    • Unit selection (kN, ton, lbf)
    • USB port for firmware upgrade and safe backup of the original configuration data (PID, calibration, etc.), in case of loss and/or data corruption. The restore of the machine to the factory settings is easy avoiding the need of any technical support.
