1. A measurement and testing system, comprising:
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 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 device selection section with a plurality of different devices that are selectable by the user and a customizable device list that is configured to be populated by the user, the graphical user interface further including a protocol section, the protocol section comprising a protocol builder that enables the user to create and populate one or more customized protocols for selected ones of the plurality of different devices in the customizable device list, the one or more customized protocols comprising one or more device 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 one or more first input signals from the user input device for creating and populating the one or more customized protocols for the selected ones of the plurality of different devices in the customizable device list;
receiving a second input signal from the user input device that initiates an execution of one of the one or more device protocols for controlling the at least one actuator; and
upon receiving the second 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 device protocols so as to displace the surface on which the subject is disposed in a prescribed manner.
