the serial (RS-232) port, or to a USB printer or memory device
(thumb drive) via the USB port. To select the destination for the

The GyroImport software is used to convert the data on the USB
memory device to a Microsoft Excel workbook. The software may
be downloaded from the 5850v2 product page on the Troxler
website (www.troxlerlabs.com) or it can be requested from
Customer Service at 1-877-TROXLER.

similar to the one shown in Figure 3–1, and shows the specimen
height, or thickness, for each gyration during a compaction cycle. A
full table output includes specimen height, gyration angle, ram
pressure, and shear stress (if enabled) for each gyration.
To print the output data, press 4 from the Data Output menu
(shown on page 3–10). The compactor displays:
