3: Detailed User Interface Features 

20 

 

3.1

 

 Software Overview 

 

The  Falex  430  ETR  user interface makes testing easy to setup, repeat and control.  It utilizes 

touchscreen functionality that allows items to be selected by simply touching the item with one’s 

finger, stylus, or mouse pointer (

if a USB mouse is connected

).  During testing, test data is displayed 

both numerically and graphically.  

 

 

Software functionality captures data points and their values are saved into a data file.  The data file 

created is saved in a format that can be opened with a standard spreadsheet or document 

application, once transferred to an external PC. 

  

 

The user interface software application is automatically started when the machine is powered up.  

Should the display go to sleep, it can be reawakened by touching somewhere on the touchscreen 

surface.  The software configuration is defaulted for ASTM D3241 testing.   

 

 

3.2

 

Display Architecture 

 

The displays are made up of three (3) areas (figure 3-1), with each area having special functionality.  

The various display areas are: 

•

 

Header
