Improving Testing Operations

A color LCD touch panel makes it easy to specify test conditions. It also includes extensive data analysis functionality, such as for
displaying results, performing statistical calculations, editing data, and displaying graphs.

Creating and Loading Test Conditions

All test conditions can be set via the screen.
Saved test conditions can be loaded from a le. Up to 10 values can be

models), or scorch point settings. Mooney viscosity values can be used for
automatic pass/fail decisions as well. Screen for setting conditions
