6.7 Data Logging
Standard functionality includes data collection for printing and transfer.
The HMI also collects data from optional extensometer and compressometer displacement transducers. This
data is captured with the same timestamp as the load data.
Press the "Generate Report/Transfer" button to manage logged data. Two data sets are stored on the machine.
The summary data has information about the test performed, like peak break info, the test ID, and basic
specimen information. The second data set is the test data and contains the Force vs. Time information for the
complete test(s).
An external USB drive must be attached to the touchscreen to retrieve summary data, test data, or summary reports.
To generate a summary report, press the "Create Summary Report" button and then select one or more stored
summary data files for your report. Press the "Generate Report/Transfer" button to generate the report.
To move either summary data or test data, select the "Move Summary Data" or "Move Test Data" button. Select
the desired data files and then the desired location.
Select "Reprint a Previous Test Report" and then select the proper test ID to reprint a test report.
6.8 Printing
The system can be configured to print every test report. Most printers will be automatically set up by the
operating system when connected.
Printer margins and the "Print Each Test" checkbox are found on the "User Info" tab. Select the checkbox to
print each test.

OPTIONAL MACHINE CONFIGURATIONS
Optional machine configurations are available for Gilson Automatic Concrete Compression Machines. Options
include Dual Frame machines, Dual Range machines, and Ram Displacement Measurement (for speed control).
• Dual Frame machines have a two-step process to change the frame selected. The operator must move the AB
valve to the opposite position and press the button on the main screen for the primary frame or secondary frame.
• Dual Range machines allow selection of either a low or high range by pressing the button on the main screen.
• Ram Displacement Measurement Machines with the Displacement option can measure the movement of the ram.
This gives a user the ability to select a speed at which a test occurs rather than just a loading or stress rate.
