This photograph shows the equipment we use to conduct the compressive relaxation tests. The main instrument is a Cambridge Technology, Inc. Lever System (silver object on the right), that is controlled by a computer using LabVIEW software. The sample is placed in the small temperature controlled bath just to the left of the motor.
