5) Local Overload - User inputs a value less than or equal to full scale value of the attached load cell. Program will terminate test if
the local overload force value is exceeded.
6) Engineering Units - Press 1 to select Load units (LBF, N, KN, mN, gf, Kgf, ozf).
Press 2 to select Stress units (PSI, KPa, MPa, ksc)
Press 3 to select Length units (in, mm, cm)
Press 4 to select Time Units (sec, min)
Press 5 to select Rate Channel (Load, Position, Strain)
Press 6 to select Position (in, %)
Press 7 to select Strain (in, in/in, %)
7) Set Test Direction- Toggle between Tension and Compression by pressing the 7) key.
8) Freeze Strain- Freezes Strain channel and asks user to remove extensometer when yield data has been collected.
4.3 The Analysis Menu
1) Select Analysis - Scrolling list of available analyses. Use the UP and Down arrows to scroll through the list. Enable Analysis by
pressing the 1) key when the analysis is displayed. After the desired group of analyses have been selected, press the ENT key to
set the analysis parameters, if applicable. If none of the analyses you have selected have parameters, then pressing the ENT key
will return the focus to the main Analysis menu. If any of the active analyses require setup parameters then the program will
prompt for them accordingly. For example, if the Average Load analysis is active, you will be asked to specify the two
displacement values to fix the data range to be used for the calculation. An analysis can have 0, 1 or 2 parameters associated
with it. After all of the analysis parameters have been defined the program will return to the Analysis menu.
NOTE: Parameters are specific to an individual analysis AND several parameters for different analyses have the same
name. If you have several analyses selected, which have parameters of the same name you will be prompted to enter
the parameter values for each analysis. For example, if you have both the Load at Break and the Disp at Break analyses
selected you will be prompted to enter 2 Load Change %'s; one for each of these two analyses.
See Table 4.0 for complete list of eP2 analyses and analysis parameters.
2) Set Limits- Set low and high limits for each active analysis. LCD screen will report any out of limit results after each test.
3) Calculate Results- Useful if analysis parameters were not entered correctly. After the test, you can change the analysis
parameters and then recalculate the results by pressing the 3) key in the analysis menu.
4) Send XY Data- Set to OFF or End of Test to transmit XY data to GaugeSafe at the end of the test.
