Zwick receives Q-DAS certification for testXpert |
| |
|
The advantages of a standardized data format for materials testing result are obvious, allowing measurement data from different measurement systems to be uniformly processed. This allows easy statistical evaluation and comparison of results, and at the same time, minimizes possible data errors. Many Zwick customers want the test results which have been determined with testXpert software to be exported into existing data bases for further processing. This data is often required in a pre-determined format. |
