Info

Use the Plot Title two (2) state button to toggle between a user supplied graph title (the sametitle is used on both graphs) or a title indicating the yield test results. When the Plot Title buttonis depressed, the user supplied title is used.Note:The Replot button must be clicked after making any changes to the state of the PlotTitle button or to the user-supplied text.Data Legend ToolbarThis toolbar allows you to select multiple data sets to plot (up to 5) and select which color andmarker to use for each data set. To select a data set to be plotted, click the box to the left of themarker so that a check mark is displayed. To un-select a data set so that it is not plotted, clickthe box to the left of the marker so that a check mark is NOT displayed. Once the appropriatedata sets to be plotted are selected, click the Replot button in the Options toolbar to update thegraphs.The top line in the toolbar always displays Captured Data and cannot be changed. Select this dataset to graph freshly collected (i.e. unsaved) data. The bottom four lines are used to select and loaddata from disk files. To select a file either double-click the intended line or select the line witha single click, then click the Browse button (i.e. the button with the three (3) dots or ellipsis). TheOpen File dialog box appears allowing you to navigate to and select the desired data file to graph.BEL gpk test.DB syruphair gel #1.DB chocolate syrup #1.DB syruphair gel #2.DBchocolate syrup #2.DBhair gel #3.DBchocolate syrup #3.DBhair gel #4.DBchocolate syrup #4.DBpetroleum jelly #1.DB ketchup #1.DBpetroleum jelly #2.DB ketchup #2.DBNote: The Replot button must be clicked after making any changes to the state of the DataLegend toolbar in order for the changes to be seen on the graphs.On the graphs, the data is plotted using the color specified for the selected data sets in the DataLegend toolbar. In addition, if the Data Markers option is turned ON, the appropriate data markerfrom the legend is displayed on each graph for each data point.Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc.

IV.EXAMPLESSome users may download programs into the <strong>YR</strong>-1 using the EZ-Yield software and then usethe instrument remotely without computer data acquisition, as discussed in Secion II. However,other users may wish to acquire data with the EZ-Yield software and a personal computer tographically analyze the sample material’s behavior. Examples are presented below.Figure IV-1 is a graph of Torque (%) vs. Time (seconds), and Figure IV-2 is a graph of stress(Pa) vs. strain (γ). Data is presented for very different materials: cream cheese, mayonnaise,pudding and ketchup. Experimentally determining an appropriate combination of spring,spindle and speed for testing each material ensures that the torque readings were within therecommend 10-100% on the torque scale. If a sample has a relatively low torque reading forthe yield (
