Test review allows users to review their test results directly from the Test tab in WaveMatrix3. Features include editable layout of graphs and results tables, zoom tool, and the ability to overlay multiple cycles for quick review.

The default graph layout will mirror the WM3 test workspace when users first open a test in test review. Users can edit the layout, number of graphs and graph types within test review. Any changes to the layout will be saved, but the original data and method files will remain untouched.

The graph layout can be changed using the edit layout function, and graph types can be changed using the properties function. Various display options are available such as showing or hiding the legend, adjusting the scale, etc.

Test review allows up to 4 graphs to be displayed at one time.

The graph types available are X-Y, Double Y, Peaks & Trends, Multi-Channel and Stop File.

Graphs can be copied as an image to the clipboard by right clicking or using the task menu.

Users can have multiple instances of test review open for reviewing each test. Users cannot include multiple tests in one review.

The Area of Interest pane is used to select the data you wish to include in your Test Review. Multiple cycles can be overlaid by enabling the multi-selection option. Focus the review on your chosen data by editing the Data Source, choosing the steps/loops of interest, and choosing cycles of interest.

Yes. Multiple cycles can be selected and displayed in test review.

Yes. Multiple steps can be selected and displayed in test review.

When you want to record dimensions or information about the specimen and/or test along with the test data and when you want to calculate or control axial stress during the test using a cross-section measurement.

The basic specimen geometries (for axial stress) are Flat, Round, or Custom – all of these have mandatory cross-section details and support user-defined inputs. “Other” specimen type allows users to add specimen and test inputs without a cross sectional area and corresponding stress channel. “None” specimen type is provided for backward compatibility for methods from WaveMatrix1 or WaveMatrix2 and collects no inputs at all.

Users can add an unlimited number of specimens and test inputs.

Yes. Basic guidance and an example is provided in the online help, or contact the Dynamic Applications team in High Wycombe for advice.

Specimen and test inputs are completely customizable. Any dimensions can be added in the ‘custom dimensions’ field with units of length, while any free form text can be added in the ‘custom properties’ field. For example, batch numbers, material, color, total length etc.

These are shown on the test inputs panel, which is now a default part of layout in new methods. Screen layout and panel contents are configured in the method.

Users can remove specimen and test inputs from the test inputs tab in the method, which will prevent the input from showing in the test workspace. If security is enabled, operators will not be able to access those inputs.

Users can update specimen and test inputs in the test workspace. Cross-section inputs cannot be edited after test start, but all other fields can be updated while the test is running (for example users may wish to record visual observations during the test). The final value will be saved at the end of the test.

No. All specimen and test inputs must be added to the method. They can only be entered or updated during setup or while the test is running.

There is a specimen and test inputs .txt file saved in the test folder. The specimen and test details are also saved in the method file.

The Security option allows you to create and manage different access levels and associated permissions for system operators. If Security is enabled each user must log in with their own account settings (username and passcode) and can only perform operations permitted by their access level.

If Security is disabled or never enabled initially, all users have unlimited access to all non-security operations. Only Administrators can enable or disable Security.

Yes. An Administrator profile will be automatically created and asked to create their own PIN and when the feature is first enabled.

You can set up as many users as required, and you can set up multiple users at each level to suit your lab needs.

Three: Administrator, Lab Manager, Operator.

Operators can only run tests using existing methods; they can review data and access tutorials. Lab Managers can create and edit methods and use all functions except Security settings. Administrators have full access to all features including enable/disable Security and create user profiles.

You can customize your own username, first and last name, and passcode. An Administrator can also modify the settings of other users, including their Access Level.

Only an Administrator can change other users’ settings.

An Administrator can remove/add a user and change their settings.

Saved methods remain visible and usable by other users.

Ask an Administrator to modify your settings and assign a new passcode.

An Administrator can disable Security at any time. The list of users will be available again if/when the Administrator re-enables Security.

No. Security is enabled and user profiles are set up locally on each system.
