KEY BENEFITS OF IMPACT-E SOFTWARE:
- User friendly: Guides the user through the testing process.
- Interactive: The user is in control at every step.
- Well documented: Includes a complete, comprehensive instruction
manual, as well as an on-line Help system.
Impact-E software is the product of two man-years of programming effort. It is a
critical component of the impact-echo test system because it incorporates the physics and
mathematics on which the impact-echo method is based.
KEY FEATURES:
Easy to use
- User interacts through clearly labeled command buttons and text boxes for data entry,
- Control exercised with mouse or keyboard, or combination of the two,
- Organization of screens guides the user through testing and data recall and analysis.
- Date and time of each test automatically recorded and stored with test results.
Comprehensive: covers all known applications of impact-echo, including
- Plates (slabs),
- Plates consisting of two layers (including plates with asphalt overlays),
- Plates in contact with soils,
- Bond quality at internal interfaces,
- Circular columns,
- Square and rectangular beams and columns,
- Hollow cylinders (pipes, tunnels, mine shaft liners),
- Post-tensioned structures (locating voids in grouted tendon ducts),
- Direct measurement of wave speed,
- Measurement of plate thickness,
- Depth of surface-opening cracks.
Fast
- Less than three minutes required from the time the computer is turned on until testing
is ready to begin,
- The time required to perform a test and store the results in a test file is typically
less than one minute, often less than 20 seconds..
Flexible
- Screens can be viewed in color or black and white (the latter is sometimes easier to
read in outdoor light),
- Test results can be stored in data files on hard disk, floppy disk, or other drive, for
later recall and analysis,
- Copies of individual test points and summaries of test files can be printed,
- File utilities system facilitates printing, copying test records between files, writing
information directly to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, writing results to ASCII files for
export, etc.
Software Protection
- Each copy of Impact-E software is unique and has its own serial number. It is protected
against unauthorized use by an encryption system that permits testing to be performed only
when used with the data acquisition system supplied with the instrument (this data
acquisition system has the same serial number as the software). Impact-E can be loaded on
any computer for the purposes of completing the self-teaching course provided with each
instrument, for examining files of test data, copying results to spreadsheets or to ASCII
files, etc. It can be used with test data recorded by any impact-echo instrument
manufactured by Impact-Echo Instruments, LLC.
