NEXT SOFTWARE

From controlling a single operation to a complete geotechnical lab, Humboldt’s NEXT data acquisition software, in conjunction with compatible Humboldt testing equipment, provides a complete solution for the acquisition, recording and presentation of test data. The NEXT software is included with many of Humboldt’s load frames, consolidation and direct shear machines; providing robust machine control, calibration, data acquisition and report generation for those using a computer to control load frame operations.

With Humboldt’s NEXT software, operators have the ability to view and control testing operations from a PC in the lab, in the next room or at a different location, as well as the ability to control and monitor multiple tests at the same time.

So, whether you are controlling a single testing operation or controlling a complete geotechnical lab, Humboldt’s NEXT software, in conjunction with Humboldt's testing machines, provides a complete solution for the calibration, acquisition, recording and presentation of testing data in data tabulation and graphic chart formats.

• Machine control, and data acquisition via networked computer
• Provides the ability to use Next Software’s, advanced test-specific modules
• Real-time graphical chart and numerical display of tests via computer display
• Effective sampling rate of 50 readings per second
• Stores unlimited tests with up to 3000 points per test.

• Up to 255 individual tests can be run simultaneously from a single PC
• Advanced, test-specific modules are available, which provide all the calculations and graph required per testing standards
• Provides advanced graphing capabilities
• Provides full-unit customization
• Reports can also be exported to Excel or a CSV file, if desired, and, we can provide custom integration/export solutions for LIMS, EQuIS, gINT, etc.

These modules provide you with the following capabilities beyond the standard software included with your ELITE Series load frames:

• test-specific setup that guides you through the process, which includes selecting data collection parameters that best fit the specific test;
• input specific project information for each test, such as project name, client information, etc;
• all test-specific initial, intermediate, and final parameters required by ASTM and BS standards is dynamically calculated for you, based on your input of specimen information, such as size, weight, etc;
• tabulated test data, graphs and all test-specific calculations are provided in real time, allowing you to monitor tests in process;
• generate test-specific reports that include all graphs and data presented in a project;
• simultaneously run multiple tests on one computer, involving any of the available HMTS modules and any compatible Humboldt equipment up to 255 device connections, which is up to 1020 inputs;
• create and store test-specific test setup templates for rapid setup of future tests;
• produce test-specific graphs, which allow you to draw construction lines to calculate angles and other test-specific parameters;
• automatically recover from a PC shutdown without loss of data;
• all unit parameters can be adjusted individually;
• easily change between different test standards;
• access free, downloadable software upgrades for purchased modules, and
• additional modules are available, please enquire.
