Flexible Test Scheduling

Because the NSMS system uses robust case mounted sensors, the system can be maintained throughout an extended test period. Instrumentation mortality which is common with conventional strain gages does not dictate the order of the test schedule. As well as being more reliable, AMS probes are robust, reusable, affordable, and above all, accurate. Ease in setup allows AMS systems to cover short term multi-application (same probes used on multiple housings) tests while Satellite communication and remote system monitoring capability allows tests to be conducted for extended periods of time. The Testing Schedule is solely driven by the customer.
