EDM 9.1 Release
Crystal Instruments is pleased to announce the release of EDM 9.1, the most reliable and powerful version available from Crystal Instruments.
EDM 9.1 supports temperature measurements using the Spider-80Ti with both RTD and K-Type thermocouples. The designed advanced algorithms ensure the highest accuracy for temperature measurement for any temperature measurement range.
The introduction of a 16-channel low-cost Spider-80Gi for strain measurements facilitates an economic option to acquire strain data from hundreds of channels.
The powerful Black Box mode capabilities of the Spider are utilized in EDM 9.1 to further extend the scope of Spider systems to many more diverse applications.
A major outline of the EDM 9.1 release features is listed below. Refer to our detailed release notes to learn more about the EDM 9.1 release.
