Upgrade to Emperor software

Mecmesin has announced that ‘Emperor’, the new generation software for testing quality, has been upgraded.

Emperor has been specifically designed for use in quality control laboratories to solve applications where the response of manufactured products, components or materials to applied tensile, compressive or torsional loads needs to be evaluated. Emperor-controlled systems are establishing themselves with quality professionals throughout the world as the basis of particularly powerful, flexible, user-friendly and cost-effective testing facilities.

Enhancements introduced with the latest software release include:

• Batch reporting – easily-configurable report layout, improved facilities for management of individual samples
• Communication - support for COM1 to COM9, USB support with converter lead supplied
• Calculations – all results can be assigned to a variable (50 now available), intermediate calculations can be suppressed from results screen, ‘summary view’ showing results and statistics
• Automatic post-test facilities - crosshead parking, raw data export
• Accumulated displacement graphing – ability to plot load and time against accumulated displacement in addition to absolute displacement

Results and programs archived from previous software releases are fully-upgradeable to support the new features.

Currently single-column MultiTest-i systems for tension and compression testing are available with capacities of 1, 2.5 and 5 kN, and, for torque testing, Vortex-i systems are available with capacities of 0.3, 1.5, 6 and 10N.m. A range of twin-column higher capacity MultiTest systems will be introduced in the near future.
