GenTest is primarily designed to work with NextGen’s own universal testing machines, especially the NG-EML electromechanical series. In this setup, communication with the controller, load cells, extensometers and safety circuits is already matched, so installation is straightforward and all features are available out of the box.

In some cases, integration with third-party systems is technically possible, but it depends on the electronics, communication protocol and available documentation from the machine manufacturer. If the controller can provide stable, documented signals or a suitable interface, a custom connection may be developed.

Because every non-NextGen machine is different, third-party compatibility is not guaranteed as a standard feature and should be evaluated case by case. Labs that want to connect GenTest to an existing UTM are usually asked to provide controller details, wiring information and current software setup so the technical team can confirm what is realistic.
