Energy
Description
The Energy option allows you to obtain, at the end of a
test, the total energy under the load curve, the values at
Peak and Break, and the values at three preset points. En-
ergy is defined as the integral of composite load (analog
load divided by analog area) and extension or strain. Re-
corded values may range from 1.000E-04 to 2.147E05.
Energy data is accessible through the RS-232 connector
on the front panel. The printer must be available to print
out Energy data.
Operation
The procedure required to obtain energy readouts is to
set the independent variable, and then enable the energy
option so a printout can be obtained at the end of a test.
The default condition of the independent variable is
strain, but extension becomes the independent variable if
strain is not used.
To set the independent variable, enter the following se-
quence on the keypad:
[S1] [5] [+/–]
The Main Panel Display will show either:
SL–5 for Strain, or
SL 5 for Extension
Toggle the [+/–] key until the required display appears.
This action also toggles the independent variable for Pre-
set Points.
