MESUR®gauge Plus expands the functionality of force and torque measuring instruments and test stands. MESUR®gauge Plus has the ability to capture and display data in graphical format for load vs. time or load vs. travel vs. time and adds the ability to control the motion of certain Mark-10 motorized test stands, coordinating motion control and data acquisition.

The program includes a set of tools to analyze test results, including statistical calculations, quick data export to Microsoft Excel, customizable reports, pass/fail indicators, and many others. Test setups are customizable and can be saved and recalled. The user can program test start and stop conditions, including load, time, distance, and sample break. Additional features include a large display screen for real time load and travel data and a utility to configure certain Mark-10 gauges from a PC.

Built-in simulated data generation allows MESUR®gauge Plus to be evaluated without an instrument.

The software may be downloaded from the link below. The software is free for 90 days from date of installation, and may be activated at any time in the field.
