1. Harness the Strength of an Integrated Testing System The testing power and utility of each base MTS Insight testing system is created through a net worked set of three major elements the personal computer PC running TestWorks 4 Testing Software the load frame with integrated digital controller and the programmable handset These three components create an integrated testing sys tem that offers flexible testing capabilities with a simple operator interface The operator uses the PC to quickly and easily run tests with TestWorks 4 Testing Software TestWorks 4 sends testing instructions to the load frame s internal digital controller for high speed testing control As the test is run the digital con troller collects and interprets test data to send back to TestWorks 4 for display analysis and reporting The handset allows the operator to per form standard and programmable functions while standing close to the test specimen All MTS Insight testing systems offer load cells with TEDS self identification capabilities that follow the recently adopted IEEE 1451 4 standard Load cell self identification increases laboratory efficiency and reduces potential operator error by eliminating the need to manually enter load cell and transducer identification information Powerful Testing Capabilities in a Smaller Package MTS Insight Electromechanical Testing Systems offer a full range of testing capabilities with a smaller loa2.
