Humboldt’s NEXT software is used to control the operation of Humboldt’s testing machines, as well as provide data acquisition and reporting of test data. The software provides a computer-based platform with the ability to configure testing machines and the testing process; specify testing parameters and limits, operate the machine during the testing and provide detailed reports of the data collected in tabular or graphical formats. From controlling a single operation to a complete geotechnical lab, Humboldt’s NEXT data acquisition software, in conjunction with compatible Humboldt testing equipment, provides a complete solution for the acquisition, recording and presentation of test data. NEXT software is included with many of Humboldt’s load frames, consolidation and direct shear machines; providing robust machine control, data acquisition and report generation for those using a computer to control load frame operations. •Test-specific setup, which guides you through the process and includes selecting data collection parameters that best fit the specific test •Input specific project information for each test, such as project name, client information, etc. •All test-specific initial, intermediate, and final parameters required by ASTM and BS standards are dynamically calculated for you, based on your input of specimen information, such as size, weight, etc. •Tabulated test data, graphs and all test-specific calculations are provided in real time, allowing you to monitor tests in process •Generate test-specific reports that include all graphs and data presented in a project For additional information about NEXT Software, Control, Acquisition and Reporting, click here.
