Press a key to change a parameter
Sample Stiffness can be set to Auto (see above) or Manual (see screen below). Sample stiffness is
used when a test is being carried out under load rate control, i.e. when driving at a rate of Newtons
per minute or lbs per inch. The machine speed will have to vary depending on the stiffness of the
sample.
Manual Sample stiffness uses the value entered throughout the test. Auto sample stiffness starts
from an Initial value and throughout the test re-calculates this value.
