Video recording with testXpert II |
| In 1998 Zwick was the first producer of commercial materials testing software to feature an integrated synchronised video recording of a material or component under test.
Now, testXpert® II users are able to record, store and playback video sequences of tests which have been synchronised with the individual data points of the test. The synchronisation has been improved to overcome small timing delays in the Windows operating system by using a combination of hardware and software. The result is that Zwick’s solution allows video sequences to be synchronised frame-by-frame and users can even define real time events to define where the video recording should commence. In addition, users can measure dimensions on a still frame (see figure 3)
testXpert® II’s Video Recording Kit is available in two options depending on the required synchronisation accuracy. The test can be replayed at any time and a moving cursor tracks the precise position on the stress / strain force / deflection (or any other input channel) curve. Commercial USB webcams can be used as well as S-video or composite video camera systems.
The video recording kit is perfectly suited to R&D, education, quality control laboratories or where it is an advantage to visualise a critical test sequence (as in product or component safety testing). It can also be used with all of Zwick’s retrofit / modernisation kits which are designed for almost every brand of materials testing machine.
