New ways to help support your texture analysis test methods

We’re always looking for ways to help you make your texture analysis easier to perform whilst providing you with the latest information on innovations and research within your particular industry to stay ahead of the game.

Here are the latest improvements to the way we are trying to help.

New Education Zone with your software

We hope you’ve already noticed that in the latest software versions your Education Zone just got more helpful.

The Education Zone within Exponent/Exponent Connect software offers users a wealth of application materials, an extensive library of technical information, published academic paper references and valuable insights into the optimum choice of probes and fixtures.

Existing Exponent and Exponent Connect customers can now access their free software update so that they can benefit from improved functionality of the Education Zone, by downloading from the Software Updates page of our website. A new section will take you through how to ‘Create your own test method’.

Meanwhile the application studies have been organised in an easier to access manner.

Sections have been rewritten to take you through the topics within Analyse, Learn and Discover. All of this information will help you to optimise your texture analysis experience, understand the background of measurement and the principles of texture analysis along with an explanation of all of the attachment options available to you for the measurement of a huge range of textural and physical properties.

Let’s walk you through the highlights in this video:



Instant access to manuals

Within the latest version of Exponent Connect you will now see that we’ve put all of the Additional Measurement manuals into the software to make your access more convenient. Go to Help > Additional Measurement manuals and you will see the full list of pdfs available to you immediately.
