Claim 13:
14. A measurement and testing system, comprising:
a measurement assembly having at least one measurement device, the at least one measurement device configured to sense one or more measured quantities and output one or more signals that are representative of the one or more measured quantities;
at least one actuator, the at least one actuator configured to displace a surface on which a subject is disposed;
a visual display device having an output screen;
a user input device, the user input device configured to enable a user of the system to input or manipulate data; and
at least one data processing device operatively coupled to the at least one measurement device of the measurement assembly, the at least one actuator, the visual display device, and the user input device, the at least one data processing device including at least one hardware component, and the at least one data processing device configured to execute computer executable stored instructions, the computer executable stored instructions comprising instructions for:
generating a graphical user interface on the output screen of the visual display device, the graphical user interface including a protocol section, the protocol section comprising one or more protocols with one or more actuator parameters for controlling the at least one actuator for a time period while the subject is disposed on the surface;
receiving an input signal from the user input device that initiates an execution of one of the one or more protocols for controlling the at least one actuator;
upon receiving the input signal from the user input device, controlling the at least one actuator for the time period in accordance with the executed one of the one or more protocols so as to displace the surface on which the subject is disposed in a prescribed manner;
receiving the one or more signals that are representative of the one or more measured quantities and converting the one or more signals into output data; and
displaying the output data in a portion of the graphical user interface on the output screen of the visual display device;
wherein at least one of the one or more protocols displayed in the protocol section of the graphical user interface further comprises a plurality of protocols arranged in a queue, and the at least one data processing device is further configured to execute computer executable stored instructions for:
receiving an input signal from the user input device that initiates an execution of a first one of the plurality of protocols arranged in the queue; and
after completing the first one of the plurality of protocols, automatically executing each successive one of the plurality of protocols arranged in the queue.
