How to operate a Texture Analyser using a range of devices

Whether you are new to texture analysis, are an experienced super user, or have specific requirements, you now have the flexibility to choose how you interact with a Connect Texture Analyser.  

We offer three ways to run your instrument. Each can be used independently from each other, or you can have a combination of all three. Whichever suits your requirements, the choice is yours.

How to operate your Texture Analyser

Touchscreen

The Touchscreen is supplied with all of our Connect Texture Analysers and is capable of controlling your instrument and running simple tests. It is ideal for providing a quick result with some single point analysis, such as Maximum Forces in both compression and tension tests.
It will even give you a visual summary curve of your test, providing a quick check to see that your test has performed as you expected.
 
Using the Touchscreen, you will also be able to calibrate, control security settings for operators and set up network connections (if required).

Exponent Connect

Exponent Connect software is our feature-rich texture analysis package. It provides full control and customisation, ultra-fast data collection (2000 data points per second) and a huge range of analysis features for your every application. Connect it to your instrument locally or install it on a desktop in your office (a network connection is required).
 
For use with the TA.XTExpressC model, and for texture solutions that do not require any other peripheral devices connected to the Texture Analyser, Exponent Connect Lite may be a simpler option for your application.

Browser Interface*

The Browser Interface is also supplied with all of our Texture Analysers and has many of the capabilities provided within the Touchscreen Interface.

However, it offers the additional convenience of running on your tablet, phone or laptop.
You no longer need a dedicated PC connected to your Texture Analyser. Just open your instrument’s web view, run your tests and analyse your data back at your desktop with Exponent Connect or Exponent Connect Lite software.

Multiple instruments can be setup and controlled by one device, either nearby or remotely from your desktop, so that your laboratory staff can be running tests that you have configured.
