The DIL 402 CD runs under Proteus® Software on MS Windows®. The Proteus® Software includes everything you need to carry out a measurement and evaluate the resulting data. Through the combination of easy-to-understand menus and automated routines, a tool has been created that is extremely user-friendly and, at the same time, allows sophisticated analysis. The Proteus® software is licensed with the instrument and can of course be installed on other computer systems.

Dilatometer analysis features:

• Plotting of the absolute or relative expansion/shrinkage curves, independently for two different samples or as a difference of two samples
• Various correction options
  

  - correction of the system’s own expansion behavior with either a calibration measurement or sample holder correction
  - offset correction
  - online correction by comparative measurements with standard sample

• Semi-automatic routines for determination of onset, peak and end temperatures
• Glass transitions and dilatometric softening points
• Analyses in accordance with DIN (German standards)
• Automatic softening point detection
• Derivation of curves for determination of the temperature- or time-dependent linear expansion rates
• Expansion coefficients: calculation and graphic presentation of the technical and physical expansion coefficients
• Analysis of sintering temperatures
• Automatic determination of the shrinkage during a sintering step
• Rate-controlled temperature guidance for optimization of sintering, unique option for "corrected RCS" through usage of a standard sample in differential mode (RCS option)
• c-DTA® for determination of endo- and exothermal effects of a sample
