DualView Screen Technology for Enhanced Hardness Testing Workflows

INNOVATEST DualView Technology expands the usability and efficiency of your hardness testing system by providing a larger, more effective workspace for analysis, automation, and operator control.

While every INNOVATEST hardness tester includes a high-quality 27” industrial landscape touchscreen, the optional DualView configuration upgrades the system to two 24” industrial-grade landscape monitors, creating a powerful dual-screen environment for Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers hardness testing applications.

This improved visual workspace within our IMPRESSIONS 4 software enhances productivity, simplifies operation, and supports more advanced testing workflows.

Larger Viewing Area for Better Sample Analysis

Hardness testing often requires close attention to sample details, indentation positioning, and test pattern verification. DualView Technology significantly improves visibility by expanding the display area across two screens.

  • Larger live view from overview and objective cameras
  • Improved visibility of samples, indentations, and test areas
  • Enhanced precision during setup and analysis
  • Better control of large samples and complex test routines

This increased field of view supports more accurate testing and a more comfortable operator experience.

Keep Test Patterns Visible at All Times

For users performing automated multi-point hardness testing, constant visibility of the test pattern layout is a major advantage.

With DualView Technology:

  • One screen can display the live sample view
  • The second screen can permanently display the test pattern editor
  • Operators can monitor both test execution and pattern positioning simultaneously

This is especially valuable for applications involving batch hardness testing, high throughput testing, and automated pattern programs.

Improved User Experience and Easier Software Navigation

More screen space makes the IMPRESSIONS™ software interface easier to navigate and significantly more user-friendly.

  • Reduced need to switch between windows and menus
  • Faster access to controls, settings, and test results
  • Improved workflow efficiency for routine and advanced testing

This creates a smoother user experience for both experienced operators and new users learning the system.

DualView vs Single-Screen Hardness Testing Operation

Traditional single-screen operation can limit visibility and slow down complex testing workflows, particularly when working with large samples, automated test patterns, or advanced analysis functions.

DualView Technology provides a clear operational advantage:

Single-Screen Operation Limitations

  • Frequent switching between live view, test patterns, and results screens
  • Reduced visibility of overview and objective camera images
  • Less efficient navigation during automated testing
  • Increased operator workload during multi-point testing
  • More difficult collaboration during training and research applications

DualView Technology Advantages

  • Simultaneous display of live sample view and test pattern editor
  • Larger field of view for improved sample analysis
  • Faster workflow with fewer interruptions
  • Improved efficiency for batch hardness testing and automation
  • Better support for teaching, training, and collaborative work environments

By reducing screen switching and improving visibility, DualView Technology increases both productivity and testing accuracy.

Ideal for Teaching, Research, and Collaborative Environments

DualView Technology is particularly valuable in laboratories where multiple users need to observe the testing process.

  • Supports training and operator education
  • Ideal for teaching laboratories and universities
  • Allows a primary operator and secondary observer to work simultaneously
  • Improves collaboration in research and development environments

This makes the system highly effective for both industrial production and academic applications.

Optimized for Automated and High Throughput Testing

In environments where speed, precision, and repeatability are critical, DualView Technology improves operational efficiency and testing performance.

  • Supports automated hardness testing workflows
  • Enhances productivity during batch hardness testing
  • Improves oversight during complex multi-point testing programs

The result is a more efficient, accurate, and operator-friendly hardness testing process—designed for modern laboratories and demanding production environments.

A Smarter Workspace for Modern Hardness Testing

By combining industrial-grade displays with intelligent software integration, DualView Technology transforms the way operators interact with hardness testing systems.

The result is greater visibility, better workflow control, and improved confidence in every test—making it an ideal upgrade for laboratories focused on productivity, automation, and precision.
