How it works

All common tests are pre-programmed from factory. Tests can also be reviewed or reset from the instrument's easy-to-use interface. To start a test, the operator selects the appropriate program. The instrument will automatically adjust to the preset distance quickly, after which the test piece can be placed. Upon pressing the start button, the front cover closes and platen will move  at a fast pace closer to sample; and then commence the test at standard speed. Results can be viewed on display,  printed to an external printer or sent to a computer.
