What is ZP Recorder?
The ZP Recorder is force analysis software designed to interface
with Imada Z Series (USB) force gauges. ZP Recorder records and
processes 1,000 data per second (not just the peak) and gener-
ates a graph with statistics. Zoom into any part of the graph to
see individual data points at intervals of 1mS. Mouse over data
points to display their force value.
Further analysis can be done on the entire range or by selecting
part of the graph to detect the first peak or generate statistics
within that time interval. Compare and align multiple graphs.
Save graphs or export data to CSV format.
ZP Recorder offers a new toolbox to analyze force data.
