QuickTest
For when you need results fast, QuickTest allows users to enter a few simple parameters and run their test within seconds.
Method Templates
Bluehill Universal includes an extensive library of pre-configured methods for some of the most commonly used ASTM, ISO, and EN standards.
Prompted Tests
Users can be guided through the entire testing process with step-by-step instructions, ensuring that tests remain repeatable, simple, and error-free.
Integrated Specimen Measurement
Connect micrometers and calipers directly into the system to effortlessly import specimen dimensions for stress measurements.
Pass/Fail
Allows users to add a test component to the workspace to quickly visualize if a test passed or failed based on the acceptance criteria set in the test method.
Barcode Scanner
Users can seamlessly enter information into Bluehill Universal with any USB barcode scanner. Simply create a barcode, inclusive of the tab function, and information can be added in any text or number input fields.
Advanced Capability without the Complexity
Simplicity doesn’t mean that you have to give up advanced features. Bluehill Universal’s modular features give you the power and flexibility to run the most complex of tests.
Customizable Exporting
Export anything post-test, from a professional report with graphs and tables, to customized text files to integrate with your Lab Information Management System.

TestProfiler
Build simple cyclic tests that include ramps, holds, and triangle waves. Conditional logic allows you to create looping patterns that help you re-create real-life scenarios with your tests.
Learn More
Expression Builder
Build your own custom functions using a list of variables, measurements, and raw data. For example, users can set test speed as a function of specimen width and thickness or create a custom raw data expression such as subtracting out drag force when testing in a fluid bath.
Enhanced Security
Bluehill Security allows a Lab Manager to configure permission in the software, granting access to trained personnel, such as super users, and limiting access where needed. Bluehill Security allows login permissions to be configured directly in Bluehill, or linked to the local Windows login or Windows Active Directory.

Replay, reanalyze, or make modifications to previously-tested specimens without having to re-run tests.
TestCam
Connect a USB webcam to experience point-by-point video playback, allowing you to view the test even after it has finished.
Subsamples
Using subsample, users have the ability to sort results by all parameters including operator name, specimen break location, and specific specimen properties.
TrendTracker
Export results directly to a TrendTacker database. Users can establish multiple database connections in Bluehill Universal then select the TrendTracker database in the appropriate method.
Application Programming Interface
Bluehill Universal’s Application Programming Interface (API) allows system administrators to program their own custom interfaces for controlling pre- and post-test actions within Bluehill. In many cases, the API can allow you to automate some components of the testing sequence, as well as create your own interface for running certain parts of the system, like importing, starting, or exporting.

Some users prefer to build methods or perform post-test data analysis at their own desks or remotely on their laptops, rather than at the test instrument. The Off-line Programming and Data Analysis option is available in either a single or unlimited license.
