Test programs Safety in detail

® accepts this dataautomatically directly following the program start •for the necessary settings •for the determination of safetylimit values•for the correct measurementsignal evaluationFurthermore testXpert testXpert The test programs compiled byZwick stipulate how tests are to be run. Their basis are selected software modules that are linked to one another and are pre-configured through fixed parameters depending upon the functions required. Thus the user receives from Zwick a “test template” in which only variable parameters must be entered.There are three variants availablefor a wide range of requirements: •Master test programs •Standard test programs, and •Customized test programs Windows software is normally used in offices. However,
® testXpert takes over an additional andespecially critical task: monitoring and controlling machines. Machine damage and potential danger to persons must be ruled out. That’s why
® doesn’t use anyoverlapping windows in the test mode to avoid hiding important displays or key fields.
® checkswhether or not •the test can be carried out withthis configuration•all settings have been made •the data have changed for thecurrent test

Automatic acceptanceof system data

testXpert Different test jobs require differenttest machines with different and usually, interchangeable compo- nents. Their specific properties are characterised by the system data (nominal force, travel, speed range, mounting height, calibration factors, etc.). Organisational data also belong to the above, e.g. the series number or the date of the last calibration.

Simplest operation

testXpert Operation is reduced to a one-button operation, i.e. activating the start button, for standard applications. This is possible because

Internationalquality standards

testXpert To comply with international qualitystandards, each and every version must be transparent, documented and archived for 10 years. The
® automaticallyrecords the test data, and dependent upon this, professional controls and monitors the test sequence and determines and documents the test results.Preparation of a test series requiresonly two steps: •call-up the test program foreseenfor the required application•input or selection of variableparameters
® test software fully meetsthese requirements and even the particularly strict guidelines of the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).The entire software developmentprocess and its components are diligently documented and archived from the source code through to the software tools used, for each and every version. This is valid for each phase from the analysis via the specification, design and implementation up to the test. Conformity to the standard ISO 9000-3 for development of

Optimum user information

All displays necessary for carrying out a test and a test series, can be grouped together in a clear and concise manner in one single screen setting. •input fields for specimen-specifictest parameters•curve diagram (single or multiplecurves)•tables for test results •tables for result statistics
