IV.8.6.1 Data Output
Pre-Test Output
When a test is begun, the following information is sent out both the parallel and serial (RS-232)
ports in the format shown with each line terminated by a CR/LF (i.e., a Carriage Return/Line Feed
command):
Date : ......................................................................
Sample Information : ......................................................................
Operator : ......................................................................
Model : RV
YD1:Spindle : 71/001 YD2:Pre-shear (rpm/secs) : 0.1/0010
YD3:Zero (rpm) : 0.05 YD4:Wait Time (secs) : 0010
YD5:Run Speed (rpm) : 0.4 YD6:Base Inc. (msec) : 0200
YD7:Torque Red. (%) : 020 YD8:Under-Range Red. (%) : 050
YD9:Average (readings) : 05 YDA:Limits (Low/High) (Pa) : 00200/01000
Base Inc. Cal. (%) : 1.55 Temperature (°C) : 25.5
Test Name : Sample Test Slot Number : 01
Note:
1) The Base Inc. Cal. (Base Increment Calibration) number is the change
in torque expected for the Base Inc. (Base Increment) selected using the
calibration data stored in the instrument.
2) The YDx values are for use with the EZ-Yield TM software and can be
ignored.
Post-Test Output
At the conclusion of the test, one of the following six (6) messages is sent to both the parallel and
serial (RS-232) ports:
1. Test (test number: test name) Complete
Yield Stress (Pa) = 196.53 % Torque @ Yield = 78.6 Temperature = 25.5 ° C
Test Passed
2. Test (test number: test name) Complete
Test Failed = Under-range (displayed if test fails due to an under-range condition; see Section
IV.8.6.3)
3. Test (test number: test name) Complete
Test Failed = Over-range (displayed if test fails due to an over-range condition; see Section
IV.8.6.3)
4. Test (test number: test name) Complete
Yield Stress (Pa) = 196.53 % Torque @ Yield = 78.6 Temperature = 25.5
°
C
Test Failed = Yield Stress Below Low Limit (displayed if test fails due to resultant yield stress
being below low limit; see Section IV.8.6.3)
5. Test (test number: test name) Complete
Yield Stress (Pa) = 196.53 % Torque @ Yield = 78.6 Temperature = 25.5 ° C
Test Failed = Yield Stress Above High Limit (displayed if test fails due to resultant yield stress
being above high limit; see Section IV.8.6.3)
6. Test (test number: test name) Cancelled
Test Failed = Cancelled By User (displayed if test fails due to cancellation by the user)
