From a scratchproof membrane keyboard with a large monochromatic graphic display, driven by an onboard microprocessor.

The microprocessor reads force, axial pressure and displacement, and manages the motor, the pressure valve, the safety system and the test sequence through the closed loop.

It is a stand-alone machine, so no PC is required at the bench for the test to run. Data is downloaded afterwards over an RS 232 serial port, with a choice of download protocols.
