Material test systems for generating static and dynamic diagnostic information

Abstract

Disclosed example material testing systems include: a test fixture configured to determine at least one mechanical property of a test specimen; and a processor configured to: in response to a request for a machine readable code, generate the machine readable code by encoding static information about the material testing system and dynamic information representative of a state of the material testing system, wherein the dynamic information comprises at least one of environmental information measured at the test fixture, security information for the material testing system, logged data at the material testing system, load string information for load string equipment installed on the test fixture, a motor voltage measured at the test fixture, a duty cycle of the test fixture, or a cumulative distance traveled by one or more components of the test fixture; and output the machine readable code.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
