EDMS Data Acquisition Software

---

Allows full testing of Shimpo FG-7000 Digital Force Gauge with live analysis of the test results. Users can set a delay or a time period for the test data to record as well as begin or end if a load threshold is reached. The load can be inverted so the graph shows the resultant force in the direction desired. Average and peak readings are automatically calculated, but the user can zoom in on a section of a graph and recalculate the new average and peak over the selected portion of the test. Besides acquiring live data, the EDMS program can also upload previously stored readings from the gauge. Additionally, the software provides the ability to easily save the data set to a spreadsheet file, plus save the resultant graph as a photo for later review.
