ELE's DataSystem electronic instrumentation package, directly coupled to soil testing devices, provides the engineer with computer-controlled automatic data recording, analysis, and report generation.

Private laboratories whose time is at a premium will quickly realise DataSystem's productivity and scalability benefits. 

Educational establishments will have the added benefits for students of software-integrated testing procedures and direct involvement of computer technology related to conventional materials testing methods.

System advantages include:

• Multi-tasking, multiple tests can be recorded concurrently by one logger

• Automated data logging enables greater utilisation of working hours

• Eliminates the need for overtime, night shifts and weekend  work for logging purposes

• Integrated testing procedures

• Time saving in the recording and calculation of test results

• Automated standards-compliant report generation with plotting of test results

The equipment which comprises DataSystem can be divided into three main groups:

• The Autonomous Data Acquisition Unit (ADU)

• DataSystem Transducers

• DataSystem Software

The result of our continuous in-house development program, ELE is pleased to offer DataSystem 7 Geotechnical Software.

This new software replaces the very successful and widely used DS6 programs for:

• Undrained Triaxial Shear Strength

• CU/CD Triaxial Shear Strength

• One Dimensional Consolidation

• Direct and Residual Shear Strength

• California Bearing Ratio
