IV Software Instruction
4.1 Introduction of TM2101 measurement and control system
The TM2101 measurement and control system is designed purposely for microcomputer controlled
electronic universal testing machine, microcomputer controlled universal hydraulic testing machine
and microcomputer controlled compress testing machine, used for the test of tension, compress, bend,
shear, tearing and peel. With the personal computer and interface plate, it could collect, save, process
and print test result. Further it can calculate multiple parameters, i.e. maximum force, yield strength,
average peel force, maximum deformation, yielding point and elastic modulus; this system is featured
in curve process, multi-sensor support, image interface, flexible data process and powerful system
function.
Main function
1. Hardware
With a 32 bits ARM as the MCU, the test system has better overall performance、faster computational
speed and higher control accuracy than the traditional test system with 8 bits MCU.
The core device of acquisition system is ultra-high-precision 24 bits AD (analog-to-digital converter)
IC with data rate up to 2000 times per second, so it can capture the transient process of the force, and
the resolution can up to 500000 indexing. The system with 6 points calibration has high accuracy
which is far exceed the requirement of national standard.
The displacement encoder with 4 frequency doubling technology can increase by 4 times the
resolution of displacement, up to 0.0005mm.
2 output control method: pulse and voltage, can control any Servo motor、inverter motor or DC motor
with pulse or voltage interface, achieve smooth stepless. In addition, with switch signal (such as up、
down or stop) to drive the external relay or solenoid valve, in order to control DC and pneumatic、
hydraulic pressure equipment.

Advanced loosed-loop technology for velocity、displacement and force can achieve precise control of
arbitrary waveform.
Multiple serial interfaces: Up to 4 channels 24 Bits analog input, 3 channels 16 bits analog input, 3
channels pulse input, 3 channels AB phase optical encoder input, 9 channels switching value input, 8
channels switching value output, 1 USB, 1 RS232, 1 485, 4 types of LCD interface, 1 parallel port
micro print interface, 1 serial port micro print interface, 1 8X4 matrix keyboard interface.
All input and output interface use high-speed photoelectric isolation technology, which makes the
system to have strong anti-interference capability.
2. Software
It is the most easy to use software in the test machine industry with windows standard style、structured
mode of operation and detailed help documentation and tips, so that you can significantly improve the
efficiency of debug and software training.
Use Multi-threaded parallel processing make the software can display “Force-Displacement” 、
“Force-Time” 、“Displacement-Time” and “Stress-Strain” curves simultaneously, so you can switch
to any graph which you want to see and check the user settings.
Standard test process control and report output temperate, can define any number of testing standards
(including GB、ASTM、DIN、JIS、BS、etc.) for user to call. Flexible and strong customize testing
method, with multi-control mode (Constant Speed、Constant Displacement、Constant Force、Constant
Force and Velocity、Constant Stress、Constant Stress and Velocity、Constant Strain、Constant Strain
and Velocity 、etc.). Realize complex multi-step nested-loop control. Setting automatic return 、
automatically determine the fracture and automatic zero.
Strong ancillary tools with capability of data analysis, statistics and graphical analysis of curves,
which have zoom、pan、cross cursor、check points and other functions. Can transfer historical data to
graph many times, and can display to compare at the same time. Up to 7 interval setting、30 manual
sampling points and 60 automatic sampling points. Multiple statistical functions including maximum、
minimum、average、average after remove the maximum and minimum、median、standard deviation
and overall standard deviation.
Opening testing results edit method make user get any wanted test data. Up to 400 (such as maximum
force、fracture force、peel strength、tensile strength、shear strength、tear strength、maximum
deformation、yield strength、elongation、elastic modulus、ring stiffness、non-proportional elongation、
minimum force range、average force range and elongation under constant force) can be called by user.
Microsoft Word report format for easily use.

Permission management can help you lock any function mode of the software, separate the software
into multiple permission levels, make the operation of software more secure.
Digital calibration system make the calibration process easily and efficient, double protection on
calibration data.
Powerful unit system, adapt to all unit system over through the world, for example, there are more ten
types of force unit, such as gf、kgf、N、kN、tf、lbf、ozf、tf (SI)、tf (long)、tf (short）.
Multiple protection mechanism: Over range protection of force、route and displacement, hardware
setting protection for up and down limit switch.
Intuitive and efficient test data management system: Single test data can be stored in Windows
standard format with free storage path and file name, so the data store has no limits.
All operations can instead of by shortcuts, can connect with the external manual control box, can
connect all the commonly used buttons such as Fast Up、Fast Down、Middle Speed UP、Middle Speed
Down、Slow Up、Slow Down、Zero、Clear、Return、Pause and Stop.
The language version can be easily switched: Chinese Simple、Chinese Traditional、English and the
advanced version have up to ten types of language: Japan、Korean、Russia、German、French、Spanish、
Portugal.
Green software, need not to install, can copy to computer directly (need install serial port driver first),
very easy to maintenance and upgrade.
