Evaluation of lab tests

Numerous programs are available for the evaluation of lab tests.
The main advantage of these programs is the data input. The inputs are entered directly into the respective screen output forms. I.e. the final form is always visible on the screen (as printed) and the data is entered directly into the respective fields. An input value is modified by highlighting it with the mouse and entering the modification.

A further advantage is, that you have visual control and can see the results on the screen immediately. An easy-to-use zoom function is available, in order to recognise smallest details on the screen.

Several tests can be stored in a project and the tests can easily be selected within the project.

General description:

  • Several tests can be stored in a project and the tests can easily be selected within the project. It is possible to copy descriptive data (project name, building project, sampling point etc.) for each test within a project in order to save input time.
  • The possibility of storing several tests in a project goes beyond the respective program, since you can store tests of different laboratory programs in one project. Several projects can be opened in different windows simultaneously, in order to e.g. compare the results with one another.
  • The complete manual can naturally be accessed via the on-line help. You can also receive help on individual form sections with the “Arrow with question mark” button. The installation of the programs is very simple and is automatically carried out by an installation program. You can easily set up the company logo and company name without additional costs.
    The forms are output as you see them on the screen during the input. The layout can be checked of course in the usual Windows preview mode.
  • Project tests (of the current program) can be printed out in a printer list, without having to activate after each test. The printing volume can also be limited in some programs.
  • Export functions are likewise available for BMP-, DXF- or EMF-outputs. Bit-map sections can also be stored in a file or in the clipboard.

Input:

The main advantage of these programs is the data input. The inputs are entered directly into the respective screen output forms. I.e. the final form is always visible on the screen (as printed) and the data is entered directly into the respective fields. An input value is modified by highlighting it with the mouse and entering the modification.
A further advantage is, that you have visual control and can see the results on the screen immediately. An easy-to-use zoom function is available, in order to recognise smallest details on the screen.

Output:

The forms become as shown, as you see them on the screen with the input. A layout control by the print preview usual with Windows is natural.

The tests of a project (from the current program) can be shown in a printer list. In this connection, the print range can be limited with some programs.
Export functions for BMP-, DXF-or EMF output are also available. Bitmaps can be also stored as a part in a file as well as in the clipboard.
