5. Alarm system
- Function: When the parameter in the test chamber exceeds the set range or the equipment fails, the alarm system will issue an alarm to remind the operator to take measures.
- Functions: sound and light alarm, fault diagnosis, automatic shutdown, etc.
6. Data recording and analysis
- Function: Record the data of each parameter in the process of test, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and report generation.
- Functions: real-time data storage, historical data query, data export and so on.
7. safety protection function
- Emergency stop button: In case of emergency, the operator can stop the test immediately by pressing the emergency stop button.
- Overload protection: When the equipment is overloaded, the control system will automatically cut off the power supply to prevent equipment damage.
