SoftSTRAIN
NewTec Scientific has developed the “SoftStrain” software to program and control the MT1000 tensile stage and carry out mechanical tests manually or automatically.

From the launch of the software: dynamic display of sensors at 10Hz
Main features of SofStrain:
- Display of any type of curve (X, Y defined by the operator)
- Log file with the progress of the test
- Display of the steps in progress and the heating powers
- Definition of a test
- Definition of the sample type
- Definition of limits (with password)
- Definition of a test with the different steps
- Force, displacement, speed, stress control…
- Creep tests
- Expansion tests, thermal conduction
- Connection and dialogue with a MEB
- Connection and dialogue with an Optical Microscope
- Change of control during the running test
- Slope and speed adjustable on all parameters

Editing and memorizing very ergonomic and simple scripts:
- Programming at each step the type of control (force, displacement, stress, absolute, relative, …)
- Programming the step value
- Slope programming (xxx / second)
- Heating programming (none, homogeneous, differential or independent)
- Programming a pause time at the step level
- Manual or automatic programming to go to the next step
- Programming the connection to a MEB
- Programming the connection to an optical microscope
- Programming the recording frequency
- Ability to delete steps
- Possibility to copy one or more steps and to multiply it (cyclic)
- Possibility to move a step
- Possibility to modify the step to come during the test
- Ability to stop a step in progress, modify and start again
- Display possible on double screen
- Movable display screens
Other functions are accessible and modifications are possible on request
