Product Overview
DROP TEST by STEP Lab is modular software for managing, acquiring and analysing impact test data. It captures acquisition signals in real time, visualises test curves and provides structured reporting. The DynamicHMI module allows interface customisation to match laboratory workflows and operator profiles.

Purpose
Control, acquisition and analysis of impact evidence for drop tests and drop towers. Real-time display, processing and storage of acquisition data and test curves to support repeatable and auditable test procedures.

Main Features

• Guided workflow: setup and execution of test procedures with step-by-step guidance to ensure repeatability and reduce operator errors.
• Fast data acquisition and results: integrated dashboard synchronised with acquisition hardware and DROP TEST systems for immediate feedback.
• Pre-configured intelligent templates: predefined parameter sets covering common impact testing scenarios to speed up test setup.
• Flexible data analysis: configurable data flows and processing sequences with automated checks for anomalies and out-of-range results.

Key Functionalities

• Real-time display of test curve magnitudes and graphical visualisation of signals.
• Report generation and data export to Word, Excel and PDF with customizable report templates.
• Custom sequencing of test actions to implement specific test protocols.
• Configuration of end-of-test conditions: maximum load, maximum deformation, duration, rupture detection, etc.
• Extensions and integrations: third-party modules, climatic chamber interfacing, pre-tension reset for specimen fixing, automatic software updates and integrated teleassistance (remote support).

Applications
Suitable for laboratories and test benches using drop towers and drop-weight systems where real-time acquisition, visualisation, analysis and formalised reporting of impact data are required.
