Free Software for Thermal Mechanical Analysis(TMA)

Rigaku TAS100 system on NEC-MS-DOS system

File Conversion from Binary to ASCII data, "TMA_ASC".
Ver.3.00
08.04.1998.

TMA_ASC File Conversion Program; Coded in English

This converter "TMA_ASC" changes the binary files (File Extension=.0, .1, and .DM), which store the data of time-temperature, time-difference Length, and measuring conditions, respectively, to a combined ASCII file (.TMA) on MS-DOS.

This generates an ASCII File for the users' analysis.
The created ASCII File is about 3.5 times larger than the binary files.

All the measured TMA data should be recorded, in advance, in three binary files by the Rigaku original software. After the conversion, you will get the following .TMA file, which can be edited in your favarite graphic software for the better presentation, or the better analysis.

The most reacent Rigaku thermal analysis does not use NEC-PC, but UNIX. This software is fitted with the NEC-MS-DOS version of 1980?-1992?.

Example : 'TEST.TMA' file, which records the TMA measurement from 289.76K to 1652.56K, was re-written by this program as follows. All the measuring conditions are displayed on the screen but not recoreded in .TMA file ....
