This tab is used to specify the data for the test.

 

 

Toolbar

 

The buttons on the toolbar at the top of the tab can be used to enter, copy, and paste the data.

 

Add: This is used to add a new set of measurements at the selected row.

 

Delete: This is used to delete the measurements on the selected row.

 

Cut: This will cut (remove) all of the measurements and store them in the clipboard.

 

Copy: This will copy all of the measurements and store them in the clipboard.

 

Paste: This will paste the information in the clipboard into the measurement grid. It can be used to copy measurement data from Excel, by selecting and copying the axial force and axial displacement columns in Excel and pasting them into the grid.

 

Clear: This will remove all of the measurements.

 

Measurement Data

 

The measurements for each set may consist of the information below depending on the options selected on the previous tab.

 

No.: This is the reading number and is automatically added by the program.

 

Time: This is the elapsed time of the measurement.

 

Axial Dial Reading: If deformation dial readings are being specified, this is the axial deformation dial reading.

 

Axial Deformation: If deformations are being specified directly, this is the measured axial deformation. Otherwise this is the calculated deformation.

 

Load Dial Reading: If load dial readings are being specified, this is the load dial reading.

 

Axial Load: If actual loads are being specified, this is the applied axial load. If load dial readings are being specified this is the calculated applied axial load.

 

Axial Strain: This is the calculated axial strain.

 

Axial Stress: This is the calculated axial stress.
