Previewing IDAS: Enhanced precision and safety for your helmet and PPE impact testing

Dear Customers,

We are excited to introduce IDAS (Integrated Data Acquisition System), our next-generation software developed by GTM and AD Engineering to streamline and optimize the management of impact testing machines for helmets and personal protective equipment (PPE).

IDAS has been designed to centralize your entire workflow into a single, intuitive interface, ensuring absolute control over both the mechanical movement of the tower and the scientific accuracy of the acquired data.

Key Features of the New System:

  • Plug-and-Play Connectivity: Instant, automatic hardware recognition via USB, eliminating the need for complex manual configurations.
  • Advanced Biaxial Management: Real-time, synchronous acquisition of linear acceleration, rotational velocity, transmitted force, and material compression across both wired and wireless (DTS) setups.
  • Strict Operational Safety: Integrated visual status semaphores and software interlocks to provide total operator protection during free-fall simulations.
  • Deep Diagnostic Analysis: Impact Explorer and Advanced Analysis modules to navigate test history, apply granular filters, and analyze raw data curves in millivolts (mV).
  • One-Click Reporting: Fast Report functionality to instantly generate and save official compliance reports in PDF or Excel format directly from the main dashboard.

The software also features built-in threshold limits and automated calculations (including HIC parameters) aligned with the most current international regulatory standards, such as ECE 22.06, EN 1078 and EN 17950.
