Software SAUTER AFH FD

Force-displacement analysis software for testing materials

• AFH FD software is designed for all applications that require the measurement of forces, depending on the displacement. Typically these are force progression graphs in penetration tests or pullout tests
• The program simultaneously requests the measurements from a force-measuring device, e. g. SAUTER FH, as well as a length-measuring device, e.g. SAUTER LB
• The measurements from both instruments are transferred continuously to the PC, synchronised by the AFH FD software and exported in the form of a graphic, as well as free data format for simple processing in Microsoft Excel
• The software AFH FD is compatible with all devices in the ranges SAUTER FC, FH, FL
• Other devices are not supported at this time, but may be included on request
• These measuring instruments are usually used with SAUTER test stands, in particular those from the SAUTER TVM-N range. However, it is also possible to use them with other mechanical testing machines

Further analysis functions:

• Dimensions of the test object
• Tensile and compressive force
• Load test
• Archiving the recorded data
