If you are a technician or operator in the laboratory and your primary responsibility is operating the Instron
® testing system and generating accurate data, then you want a software package that helps you set up your test properly, start testing, and print a report as quickly as possible. You don’t want to be slowed down by extra steps and multiple clicks. More importantly, you need a software package that helps ensure that you are following procedures, adhering to any and all testing standards, and that sources of error are minimized or eliminated entirely.
Bluehill® 3 increases operator efficiency and provides confidence that test procedures are followed correctly by:
- Configuring a test method such that interactions with the mouse and keyboard are minimized (to zero in some cases)
- Providing instant feedback with pass/fail results and real-time calculations in live displays
- Providing immediate help on every screen in the software with state-of-the-art, user-assisted text and hyperlinks
- Setting audio alerts to remind you of test events, such as extensometer removal
- Customizing up to 4 soft keys for frequently used functions
- Easily connecting an Automatic Specimen Measuring Device (ASMD) to transfer specimen measurements directly into the software
- Automatically generating and distributing reports when the test is complete
- Using navigation assistance for method development
- Utilizing prompted test methods (with or without audio, pictures, or video) to guide users through all test procedures
- Customizing the test user interface for layout of graphs, results, live displays, test inputs, raw data viewing, and optional TestCam
