Using Bluehill Universal
®
software with DIC Replay
For full details, refer to the manual supplied with DIC Replay software.
DIC Replay is not available for the SVE2 extensometer.
DIC Replay requires Bluehill
®
software. It is not available for testing systems that use the
Instron Video Extensometer Application to communicate with the AVE2.
You need to enable image capture in Bluehill
®
so that images of the specimen will be
saved during the test.
1. Select in the console area to open System Details.
2. Select the video extensometer icon under System Settings to open the Transducer
Settings dialog for a video extensometer.
The dialog opens in the AVE2 screen.
3. Select Image Capture.
The dialog moves to the Image Capture screen.
4. Use the slider control to set the image capture rate.
5. Select AVE2.
The dialog moves to the AVE2 screen.
6. Select the appropriate Extensometer mode.
If you choose Mark finding, the test runs as normal and DIC images are saved.
However, specimen preparation for this mode is more challenging - you need to
make sure that there is an area around the dots on the specimen that is free of
speckle so that the software can identify the marks.
If you choose Speckle only, you cannot use the AVE2 as a strain device in the
normal way during testing with Bluehill
®
. You are only using the AVE2 to capture
