Instron test method setup and running a test 2 of 2

Hi Adam, is there a way to retrieve all individual data points after a compression test? I would like to retrieve the data and plot the stress-strain curves myself. The bluehill app generates a report with the curves but I want to plot them using a different application? Is that possible?

Anyone know why the load cell value it keeps go up after each sample test ( load cell balance should be returned 0 ) ... therefore the test results become higher and fail?

depends on a lot of things, making sure starting position is same, and no actual load is on the cell when you balance it.
