Decide how the cycling is to end. The 2 methods provided to end the cycling and in both
cases, the test action is repeated from Stage 1 (Simple Cycle).are: -
1 Stop after a defined number of cycles.
2 Stop at the end of the SECOND stage when the test duration exceeds the specified
time value.
Assume that the test action (e.g. move up by 10 inches then move back to the start of test
position) takes 18 seconds for each cycle. The time at the end of cycle 1 is 18 seconds, end
of cycle 2 is 36 seconds, end of cycle 3 is 54 seconds and end of cycle 4 is 72 seconds. If a
test duration of 60 seconds (1 minute) is selected, the test will end at the end of cycle 4.
When the cycle action has been defined, the "SELECT NEXT STAGE" screen now shows 3
Icons at the right hand side of the screen with the cycle "Loop" indicated by a "Bracket".
Note that the "Cycle" feature can only be used once in a complete test so the "CYCLE"
button is disabled after it has been used.
