The Triax2015 "E" system consists of the Triax2015 hand held controller, a
hemispherical missile and a support tripod. Also included with the Triax 2015 "E" system
are an 8" x 8" rubber reference pad, battery charger, manual drop handle and fitted
carrying cases.
The hand held controller is powered by an internal rechargeable NiMH battery, and
records the results of drop tests. The LCD display will show the Peak G, HIC, angle of
impact and time and date, while the impact velocity and HIC Interval (Delta T) are shown
optionally. A memory card is used to store the results of up to 1000 drop tests, and allows
the user to copy the drop test results to the included proprietary application program
running on a Windows compatible platform for report generation and archival purposes.
