UTS SOFTWARE UTS is IPC Global’s test application software, found at the core of all our testing technologies. Developed over 20 years, it delivers clear analytical power.
UTS software has numerous purpose-written applications to make it easy for testing asphalt, soil, unbound granular and other construction material to international standards. UTS software is developed from expert knowledge of applications to run automated test routines and therefore speed up testing. UTS is written in powerful, professional Delphi. It has real-time graphs for monitoring the specimen under test; portable data files for remote reviewing, analysis and troubleshooting; ‘live’ transducer levels display; and can playback vibration signatures with up to 40,000 data points. The purpose-built UTS applications have dialogue help boxes for automated test routines and easy-to-read graphics screens for test set up and reviewing results. Portable data files make it easy for remote reviewing, analysis and troubleshooting.
IMACS CONTROLLERS IPC Global’s Integrated Multi-Axis Control System (IMACS) delivers leading-edge performance, unparalleled real-time computer control and flexible data acquisition. For servo-controlled testing machines, the IMACS provides excellent waveform fidelity from integrated channel acquisition and control functions, at speeds of up to 5kHz simultaneously on all channels. The IMACS has low data noise performance with 4x over-sampled data and selectable filtration. It provides exceptional data resolution and control with up to 20bit auto-ranging data acquisition. The Flash-based firmware allows field updates of all modules. Expandable, up to 8 control axes and 32 channel acquisition, you’ll have total confidence in the measurements taken from analogue inputs that auto-calibrate on power-up.

Benefit from more than 20 years of IPC Globalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expert software application development. With UTS test applications written around international standards you can concentrate on analysing your materials; not on programing your testing machine.
Test templates
User programmable tests
Specific test settings can be entered and saved by the Chief Engineer or Laboratory Manager for easy recall and testing by laboratory technicians. There is no need to configure the machine each time you want to perform a specific test.
When you are developing a new test method or want to run a novel test UTS User-programmable test allows you to take full control and determine all the test, control and analysis parameters.
All test data saved in portable binary files
The ultimate in clean accurate data
A powerful feature unique to UTS software. When the test is finished UTS saves in a binary file the results, the data points but also every one of the test setup parameters and calibration parameters. This means that at any time in the future the test can be reviewed as if it has just been performed complete with all test control, PID, specimen settings and results.
IMACS integrated control and data acquisition with 4x oversampling technology, auto-ranging and effective 20 bit data resolution gives unparalleled control and waveform fidelity.
