Software

RC4 system is designed as an universal testing instrument capable to perform most of today´s testing tasks out of the box.
Controller Software is set in to three functional layers:

  • Real-time Firmware - runs in Controller CPU platform with no user interface (GUI).
  • Client Software - provides complete user interface, runs on Windows or Linux OS.
  • Test Modules - optional extension of client software focused at specific tests. Modules usually simplify test setup bringing one-purpose GUI, implement special evaluation of data and generate protocols or exports result data.

Real-time firmware is critical part of the whole system, performs most of functionality of RC3 like closed loop regulation, replay of test sequences, generation of loading signals or ensuring all security protection. See details in Controllers section.

Client Software mediate all interaction of operator with RC3.

Controller software supports all essential tasks of common testing jobs:

  • Configuration of test rig - transducers, actuators, security measures
  • Definition of test sequence
  • Pre-processing of raw test data
  • Installation of specimen
  • Performing and monitoring the test
  • Evaluation of measured data and data post-processing

Detailed description of Client Software functionality may be obtained upon Request.


Test Modules

Test Modules exploit standard web based interface (SOAP) with open API so its implementation is perfectly possible also by end customers or third party companies. Most of programming techniques and languages is supported.
Modules may be even realized directly in MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc.
RCS provides full documentation with example applications.

Actually available Modules for common usage:

  • SHOCK shock absorber (damper) characteristics tests
  • ELAST rubber & elastomer characteristics tests
  • SEISMIC seismic qualification tests
  • REWO inverse model response optimization
  • VIBRO vibration tests (Random Noise, PSD)
  • ...
  • Custom modules

RCS engineers are prepared to create specialized modules for your testing task.
