Weathering Tester UI Software facilitates sample tracking.
Press Release Summary:
Available for Weather-Ometers, user interface software includes e-mail notification, prompting instrument to automatically send e-mail when several user-defined conditions are met, such as when test is completed, alarm is triggered, and scheduled maintenance/calibration is required. Program also keeps track of multiple tests within same meter, allowing user to name specific sets of samples, input number of specimens within each sample set, and delete sample sets once exposures are complete.
Original Press Release:
Atlas Introduces New Weather-Ometer® User Interface Software to Facilitate Easier Sample Tracking
Chicago, IL – Atlas Material Testing Technology LLC is pleased to announce the introduction of a new user interface software for its current production Weather-Ometers. This latest software includes the following new enhancements:
E-mail Notification – Tracking the Weather-Ometer's status is now just an e-mail alert away! The new tool prompts the instrument to automatically send an e-mail when several user-defined conditions are met, including when:
• a test is completed
• a scheduled stop is reached
• an alarm is triggered
• a scheduled maintenance/calibration is required
The software allows users to input multiple e-mail addresses (including defining the "To" and "CC" details), as well as specify when to send e-mails based on the conditions listed above.
Sample Management – Given the extensive capacity of the Weather-Ometer®, it is common for multiple tests with multiple start times to run in the same instrument. The task of recording and keeping track of those individual tests has been a manual process, usually accomplished with log books or home made spreadsheets / databases. With this new tool, keeping track of exposure time is easier than ever. Operators can keep track of multiple tests within the same Weather-Ometer® right on the user interface.
This allows users to:
• Name specific sets of samples
• Input the number of specimens within each sample set
• Tell the Weather-Ometer® if the samples are currently on exposure or out of the instrument for evaluation purposes
• Delete sample sets once exposures are complete
Up to 10 individual sample sets can be tracked at once, either by time or by radiant dosage.
