InspectorX

The software for evaluating indentation measurements

InspectorX is the only instrument independent software for the analysis of depth sensing indentation measurements (IIT) with Nanoindenters as well as Macroindenters with a multitude of functions.

Essential functions of InspectorX

  • Simultaneous reading, presentation and analysis of up to several hundred indentation measurements.

  • Analysis of indentation modulus, indentation hardness, Martens hardness, equivalent Vickers hardness, indentation creep, energies according to DIN EN ISO 14577 and more than 60 additional parameters.

  • Zero point correction automatic or manual.

  • Thermal drift correction automatic or manual.

  • Radial displacement correction and variable epsilon factor.
  • Averaging of measurements with equal load and equal sequence, even for different number of data points.

  • Clearly arranged presentation of results with statistics in a table, a graph or as report

  • Export of data in different image formats, as text, in EXCEL, XML or HTML format

  • Determination and correction of instrument stiffness or compliance

  • Determination and application of indenter area function or radius function (for spherical tips) with maximum two reference materials.

  • Analysis or purely elastic measurements with spherical tips and complete elimination of the substrate influence for the calculation of the Young’s modulus. T herefore this module can be applied to measurements of ultra−thin and hard coatings of only 20nm or less.
  • Analysis of creep behavior and calculation of creep rate

  • Modeling of force−displacement curves (loading and unloading) after specification of force, indentation hardness and modulus, also under consideration of the real area function.

  • Analysis of dynamic measurements with continuous or quasi−continuous stiffness measurements (CSM) (only UNAT, ZHN, Nanoindenter XP und G200)
  • Analysis of lateral force−displacement measurements (only UNAT and ZHN) for example in scratch or wear tests.

  • Materials database with parameters like E−modulus, Poisson’s ratio, density, yield strength, thermal expansion and other for about 630 materials.
