The deformation value shown in this screen is the current distance from the top Home position and
as such shows how much travel is possible once the test begins. Be sure this value is greater than
the sum of the distance necessary to reach the trigger plus the programmed target deformation.
When clamping the sample try to exert only minimal lateral loads on the probe shaft. Pressing Start
asshownbelowwillstartthetest:
