With Elite Series machines you can have full, fin- ger-tip control and monitoring of all testing func- tions with the touch-screen controllers, found on our load frames, consolidation and direct-shear machines, as well as our other data acquisition loggers and controllers. Elite Series machines provide at-a-glance moni- toring of testing functions, in a real-time graphical display, without the use of a PC, building upon Humboldt’s dedication to modular, stand-alone, data-acquisition. Stand-Alone Control In stand-alone applications, you will be able to run tests and display results while viewing tabu- lation, basic x-y graphs and instrument readings in real-time during the test, using user-defined basic data acquisition. Test data is stored in the device and can be downloaded to a USB drive via the machine’s USB port or the data can be transferred to a networked computer. The USB port can also be used to power a wireless access point, which can provide a wireless hook-up with the PC, if no LAN is available. Computer Control Humboldt’s Next, Basic software is included with all Elite Series machines. This software provides robust machine control, calibration, data acquisi- tion and report generation for those using a com- puter to control various testing operations. In addition, operators have the ability to view and control testing operations from a PC in the lab, in the next room or at a different location, while also providing report generating capabilities using Humboldt NEXT software test-specific modules, see page 110-111. So, whether you are controlling a single load frame, controlling multiple machines or even a complete geotechnical lab, Humboldt’s NEXT Basic software, in conjunction with Humboldt’s Elite Series machines provide a complete solution for the acquisition, recording and presentation of testing data in data tabulation and graphic chart formats.SOIL MECHANICS www.humboldtmfg.com • 1.800.544.7220 • 708.468.6300 109Elite Series Equipment of all testing functions control and monitoring Choose: Stand-Alone or Computer Controlled Upgrade your existing Humboldt Geotechnical Testing machines to Elite Series machines.

Automatic testing will free up technicians for other tasks and reduce man power requirements of the testing proce- dures by more than half. IMC allows consolidation tests in the following modes of operation; con- stant load/stress, constant rate of loading, and constant rate of strain. One ConMatic IMC automated system can replace the production of several manual machines: • Incremental according to (ASTM D2435) Method B, where successive load incre- ments are applied through 100% primary consolidation. • Constant rate of strain (ASTM D4186) with controlled back pressure. • Swell or collapse of soil (ASTM D4546) Method A & B. Once a sample has been placed onto the test platform and the test conditions set, the ConMatic IMC performs all consolidation tests, including moving to the next stress level, without operator assistance. The system automatically moves through the different test parameters specified by the user with incremental consolidation tests typically being completed in 24 to 48 hours. Automated tests can be done with our NEXT PC software or without it if a PC is not available. The Humboldt- NEXT software with the HM-5100SW Consol- idation module uses sample deformation readings taken from the displacement transducer and load readings from the load cell to maintain a constant applied stress to the sample through- out the test. Testing data is recorded and displayed in real-time on the screen while test data is stored and calculations are performed automatically. Humboldt‘s NEXT software with the HM-5100SW Consolidation module provides: • Live test data tabulation and live graphing capabilities (real-time). • Complete test reporting including all calculations and graphs required for testing. • Review and exporting of tests using Microsoft Excel (CSV) format. • Smart Test Function: automatically picks up where it left off if the test was not finished due to unexpected events. The unique design of the ConMatic IMC system enables the user to connect multiple ConMatic IMC units to a single computer when connected via a LAN-network. Computer Control NEXT software and the enhanced Consolidation mod- ule, HM-5100SW, is included with the ConMatic IMC automated machine. This software provides robust machine control, calibration, data acquisi- tion and report generation for those using a com- puter to control testing operations. In addition, operators have the ability to view and control test- ing operations from the controlling PC, while also providing report generating capabilities using the test-specific software module.
