Dilatometer Software


Horizontal Rule

All LINSEIS Thermal Analysis Instruments are controlled through sophisticated Windows?software. The complete program consists of three sections: temperature control, data acquisition, and data evaluation. Essential sample information is entered in the data acquisition section.

Essential data for each sample test includes; operator, laboratory, atmosphere, gas flow, material, sample file name, zero file name, comments, sample length, measuring range, max. temperature, duration of run, sampling frequency, heating and cooling rates, number of cycles.

All menus are easily understood and intuitive. The software is quickly mastered with minimal training needed.

The evaluation is part of the complete windows software, It features a number of functions enabling a full evaluation of all types of data. All evaluation and data collection can be performed simultaneously. Data can be corrected using zero and calibration correction. Data evaluations include: absolute length change, relative length change, and coefficient of thermal expansion. A mean curve with statistical analysis can be performed on multiple curves. Graphical displays can be printed on all windows compatible printers or plotters.

Data can be displayed and printed in a table format. The software also includes an ASCII export feature.
