Intuitive, easy-to-use Windows® based analysis software is provided. The PC can receive up to 32,000 data points (time/temperature/percent linear change) for extremely long runs. Data from up to 6 tests can be compared. Data can be printed graphically or in tabular form or exported as an ASCII file. Software features include comparisons against temperature or time; zoom function; and examine percent linear change, differential or average coefficient of expansion, calculation of transition and softening point temperatures, a-b quartz transition temperature, and coefficient of expansion calculation for any temperature range.
