Scratch Software
The Nanovea Scratch Tester Software is a complete software package for controlling test parameters such as: speed, loading rate and scratch length, as well as analyzing test results. Full panoramic view with easy determination of critical loads with associated photo of failures.  Real time display of Acoustic Emission, Depth, Frictional Force versus Load / Displacement. Images incorporated directly into the scratch file for easy reference. On-line correlation between measured data and optical observation. Pre and post profile scan for the study of plastic and elastic deformation. Advanced Panoramic view of the full scratch with direct visual correlation to depth, load, friction and acoustic emission data versus displacement curve. Associated load automatically indicated on the picture for easy identification. Multi-pass scratch testing for the characterization of the wear properties of the coating. Constant and progressive loads. Control of all the parameters: Speed, loading rate, and scratch length. Zoom Functions. Data export in ASCII format Latest Windows OS software and user-friendly with free software updates.Automatic report for easy printing User Channel (optional)

Nanovea PRVision Software
PRVision can be included in Mechanical Software when an optional camera is included. PRVision was designed to automatically recognize features from a user-trained image file. The surface is scanned while automatically recognizing all features of interest; then either automatically indents every feature found or a selectively chosen by the user. PRVision can also be used to reference sample orientation during a Macro measurement, which will automatically correct for rotations or displacement created when samples are loaded and unloaded from their holder. This option will significantly reduce setup time when a surface pattern or if several samples will be measured. Ideal for using hardness as a quality control measure.
