NOTE: BE SURE TO USE THE MANUAL INCLUDED IN THE DOWNLOAD AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO WRITE DOWN OR TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF INFORMATION ON THE CALIBRATIONS SCREENS AND THE CONFIGURATION SCREEN! YOU MUST ENTER THESE VALUES IN THE UPDATED SOFTWARE BEFORE USING THE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT UPGRADE FROM ONE MAJOR VERSION TO ANOTHER. FOR EXAMPLE, DO NOT UPGRADE A VERSION 10 FRAME TO VERSION 11. THIS WILL MAKE THE FRAME UNUSABLE.

Added: Added the ability to monitor a clip on gauge along with Cortest's standard dual LVDT style displacement measurement.

Added: optional 4 LVDT, 2, and single displacement configurations with selectable 2 point and 11 point calibration. Heater now automatically handles the safety relay making turning the heater off remove all power. New cursors added. New graph indicators added.

Corrected a math error in the calculation of strain when using metric units.

Corrected a math error in the calculation of strain when using metric units.

Added user adjustable filtering in the configuration screen.

Fixes LVDT issues in 11.7.1

This update affects the K input and output values when operating in the following conditions: specimen = CT and SENT. Units = MPA. The internal software conversions have been corrected to output in MPA (rt) M. If you are running in these conditions it is reccomended that you upgrade.

Added aditional controls for the rippled strain rate motion profile.

Added the ability to individualy control the positive and negative stroke velocity.

Added force vs displacement graph. Fixed metric crack stress intensity unit identifiers. Added display for uncompensated force on the calibration screen.

Fixed conversions and added resolution to existing conversions. Retuned pressure input filter.

September 13, 2023: Fixed math error in stress and strain with units Newtons, mm, MPa.

Removed filtering, retuining of some PID loops. Updated to the latest version of Labview.

Added additional IF THEN statments. Added filtering on all instrumentation inputs.

Fixed heater button.
