1.1 Using the eP2 Digital Controller to Run a Test
This is a general overview for using the eP2 controller to run tests and get test results. See the individual sections for more detailed
description.
1. Set up Test Method:
• Use the Data Acquisition menu (section 4.2) to specify data logging threshold, sample break, specimen type and engineering
units.
• Use the Analysis menu (section 4.3) to specify the analysis to be calculated and the appropriate parameters for the selected
analyses.
• Use the Control menu (section 4.6) to specify how you want the machine to move during test.
2. Run Test
• Move crosshead to appropriate position using Jog keys and then set Home position and/or zero load by using the Zero menu.
• Press START button to begin the test. The test will run until either sample break is tripped, the programmed control profile is
completed, OR test is stopped manually.
• You can automatically stream live XY data during test to a computer via USB (see Log Rate in Data Acq menu, section 4.2) and
automatically transmit test results to a computer via USB (see Analysis menu, section 4.3).
3. Storing Test Results and Data.
• Use the PRINT menu to specify information to transfer. You can transfer stored test results or test XY data via USB connection to
a computer running the GaugeSafe PLUS software.
NOTE: You can also transfer Calibration data and Test Methods via USB to a computer running the GaugeSafe
PLUS software.
