Ametek Chatillon CS1100 - Export Settings Screen; Displaying the Test Screen

The Sharp Break detector will detect a break if the force falls quickly so is suitable for
samples that break quickly, usually with some noise.
The Percentage Drop detector will detect a break if the force falls to a specified percentage
of the maximum load so is suitable for samples that crack or tear so that the load falls too
slowly for the Sharp Break Detector to operate correctly.
Therefore this is mainly used as a safety feature or as a special Force Drop indicator so it is
important to note that the "Break Load" value may NOT give a useful result.
In both cases, the Break Detector is inhibited at low load values to prevent it from triggering if
the load falls slightly due to grip movement or noise etc. and the required threshold load
(starting load) is entered in the Activate box.
