The Rheological-Data Extraction Application: A time-saving tool for the extraction of measured rheological data from a specific rheometer-inherent software

Abstract

The Rheological-Data Extraction Application (Rheo-DEA v.1.0) is a simple and time-saving software tool, applicable to automatically extract data from a rheometer-inherent software often used in soil rheology (i.e., RheoPlus/32). The Rheo-DEA is programmed in AutoIt programming language, controls the mouse movement and the keystrokes to copy and paste datasets from the measurement software to text files in defined directories, depending on the extracted parameter. Raw data can be made easily available with the tool. Thus, the Rheo-DEA saves time and will surely help to better understand soil flow behavior.
