Data Acquisition Software
Data Acquisition Software is a suite of separate applications that collect, calculate, and report data and results for popular ASTM/AASHTO geotechnical and asphalt laboratory tests. Load and displacement values for California/Limerock bearing ratio (CBR/LBR), triaxial compression, unconfined compressive strength, soil-cement, consolidation, direct/residual shear, and asphalt Marshall stability are displayed in real-time and saved to files on the user’s computer. Results are computed based on test method requirements and reported on customized, printable forms.
A fully functional 30-day trial version of each application is available at no charge.
The Windows-based software is optimized for use with Karol-Warner two-channel and four-channel digital data readouts and supports a variety of electronic load and displacement sensors. Equipment and company-specific information can be entered for inclusion in the final reports. Test information and report data can also be exported to a spreadsheet application or converted into a PDF document. Popup keypads in the software can be enabled for use with tablets.
- CBR / LBR Data Acquisition Software captures load and penetration data from CBR/LBR tests to generate a load vs penetration curve.
- Marshall Data Acquisition Software logs and graphs data to determine the peak stability and flow of asphalt pavement mixtures.
- Consolidation Data Acquisition Software records the consolidation rate or swells during the incremental loading of soil samples. The software can be configured for use with either a digital dial indicator and USB cable or a displacement transducer with a two or four-channel data readout box.
- Direct Shear Data Acquisition Software is designed for direct or direct/residual shear and consolidation testing of soils. The software is compatible with Karol Warner pneumatic or dead-weight shear machines, as well as other models.
- Unconfined Compressive Strength Data Acquisition Software logs and processes load and deformation data to calculate unconfined compressive strengths and plot stress/strain curves.
- Soil Cement Data Acquisition Software calculates unconfined compressive strength after logging the load and deformation data of soil-cement samples.
- Triaxial Data Acquisition Software records axial load and deformation data for Unconsolidated Undrained, Consolidated Undrained, and Consolidated Drained triaxial compression tests, and can also be used for unconfined compression tests.
