Chapter 6 HVI 900 System
Testing
The HVI 900 System is designed to allow a linear measuring procedure
that includes the Length/Strength, Micronaire, and Color/Trash
Modules. The streamlined testing procedure allows one or two
operators to perform all tasks—from identification entry to sample
disposal. After a test series is completed, the results are compiled by
the system's microprocessors and relayed to the desired external
devices.
An important part of the HVI 900 system's efficiency is the smooth,
step-saving linear testing sequence. An operator can begin a second
test sample while the first test series is still being performed. For
example, the Micronaire and Color/Trash operator can test a second
bale although the Length/Strength operator has not yet finished testing
the first bale. This continuous test cycle allows the operators to
simultaneously test two different samples without having to wait for one
another.
The 940 DataManager collects, sorts, and stores data received from the
HVI 900 instruments. It is used to export selected test data, as well as
edit the database. Each user can determine how the fiber test results
will be arranged, sorted, and stored for review and interpretation.
Because the data for the 940 DataManager is generated from the
sample tests described in this section, references have been made to the
DataManager where appropriate.
