Laboratory Data Acquisition
WinSAS™ — Windows
®
-based collecting software
■ Increased production. Sensor readings are au to mat i cal ly
saved and available 24 / 7 if necessary.
■ Data accuracy:
Automated data collection eliminates operator
errors.
■ Ease of use: Having digital readouts at the work station makes
it easy for the user to set up sam ples and visually monitor test
progress.
■ Flexibility to use the readouts without the PC if desired.
■ Easy to retrofi
t on older load frames.
WinSAS™ is a Windows
®
-based serial acquisition software used
in conjunction with E-405 Smart Digital Indicators which have
been modifi ed for serial port communication. The soft ware is pre-
con fi g ured for common laboratory tests such as shear strength,
consolidation and penetration. However, the user can use the
software to collect data from a wide range of tests limited only by
the communication speed of the E-405 Smart Digital Indicators.
WinSAS™ gives the user the convenience of having digital indica-
tors at the test stand with the ability of transferring the test data to
a standard ASCII text fi le. Multiple E-405 Smart Digital Indicators
may be linked together via a standard phone (RJ-45) cable to a
multiple plug connector. An RS-485/RS-232 converter is con-
nect ed to the user’s com put er via a standard DB-9 COMM port
connection.
WinSAS™ software permits the user to create a “test machine” by
grouping sensors from a user defi ned library to perform a specifi c
task, such as a CBR test. The sensor library contains the sen-
sor type, maximum range, cal i bra tion, date and serial number.
WinSAS™ software includes a library of common soil tests from
which the user selects the type of test to be per formed. The user
has the ability to change the suggested intervals on the fl y. The
user can create custom logging profi les and intervals containing
up to 9999 data points.
Output of each channel assigned to the “test machine” is dis-
played with the elapsed time and reading. Also, any channel can
be graph i cal ly displayed with the sensor value plotted on the ordi-
nate and the elapsed time on the ab scis sa or user-defi ned graphs
such as load versus deformation.
Data Acquisition and Reporting Software
We offer data acquisition systems for the soil testing laboratory:
WinSAS, a Windows
®
-based serial acquisition system used in conjunction with E-405 Smart Digital Indicators which are modifi ed for
serial port communication.
A suite of reporting software to present the information in a way that conforms with the relevant ASTM standard.
EZ-Daq 8-channel data acquisition system (see p.46).
Data Reduction and Reporting Software for Laboratory Soil
Testing
Our suite of Windows
®
-compatible software programs read data,
perform calculations and generate graphical and tabular output as
well as test reports conforming to the respective ASTM standard.
The various programs have a common rationale that makes it
easy to move from one program to another.
Principal features are:
Windows
®
98 through XP compatible.
Powerful data base manager automatically saves input fi les by
project ID.
Uses data from WinSAS™ output fi le.
User-selectable engineering units for input and output.
Software pre-confi gured to show company or agency name in
the output report.
