Using the Software
The tester comes with a USB cable for use with a Windows PC. The software can be found on the Structures
Testing Instrument product page under the Resources tab along with a PDF explaining how to use it.
The software is ideal for enabling the entire class to see the test data by connecting the computer to an
overhead projector or to a large monitor. To do this, follow the projector or monitor’s instructions for
connecting to your computer.
The software also creates a line chart of the test data to give students a visual reference. The chart will record
up to five minutes, which should be plenty of time for an individual structure test. Each test’s chart and data
display can be printed.
