TMS-2000 Software

The TMS-2000 system software has four test configuration modes.

• Manual for single movement compression or tensile testing.
• "One Bite" for easy repetitive testing of most food products.
• TPA Mode for in depth research and Texture Profile Analysis.
• And Program Mode for customized, cyclic testing with up to 8 stepped movements.

In TPA mode, a test sample is placed between two flat plates and is compressed, relaxed and compressed again. Seven text parameters result from the analysis of a force position curve, springiness, cohesiveness, fracturability, hardness, chewiness, gumminess and adhesiveness.

The software features real-time graphs during the test as well as a high resolution display at the end of each test. After a series of tests, groups of tests can be assembled and analyzed together. Test graphs can also be overlaid for additional scrutiny. The software also features, selectable data acquisition rates and filters, operation in metric or imperial units and automatic calculation of integrals, slopes, curvatures, statistics and TPA parameters.
