Data Entry

• Test results are entered on a report by report basis, with each report listing the testing results for up to 12 specimens
• Each sample type (cylinder, prism, beam, etc.) has its own data entry form
• Failing tests can be flagged during data entry
• Break list test data screen simplifies entry of data recorded on one of the program's "tests to run today" sheets
• The software can also import data directly from files created by many different data acquisition systems.

Efficient, convenient data entry of field tests is done on the QC-Concrete main screen, which appears when the program starts. The screen displays a single test, selected using drop down lists of projects and report numbers at the top section of the screen.

Entering Information About the Test

• Pick the type of test from a drop down list
• Field data screen may be single or double column (middle section)
• Pick fonts and colors of your own choosing
• Scroll through previously entered data at any data entry prompt
• Pick from lists of frequently used data at any data entry prompt
• Checkboxes (custom reports) can show Yes/No or Pass/Fail type of data

Entering Information About the Specimen

• Specimen data entry is done in a grid style table
• Order of columns can be changed
• Calculates results as you go
• Failing tests can be shown in red
• Specimens not broken on scheduled data can be shown in yellow
• Pick fonts of your own choosing
• Pick from list of user defined notes for each specimen (custom)
• Checkboxes (custom reports) can show Yes/No or Pass/Fail type of data

Break List Data Entry

QC-Concrete gives you a quick and easy way to enter a day's break results. The Break List Data Entry screen lists the specimens scheduled to be broken on a given day, in the same order as they are printed on a QC-Concrete break list.

• Default dimensions and notes are automatically inserted to save time
• Enter loads alone or with dimensions and notes
• Prior results are displayed

Break List Reports

If samples are entered into the system as they are received, along with their test age, the software can generate a daily report of samples to be tested. Printed reports can be used as a lab. data sheet.
