Non-integrated testing systems
This section describes the following systems:
• 8800 and ElectroPuls using the 8800T or 8800D controller
• Other non-integrated testing systems, including non-Instron
When using the 8800T or 8800D controller, the AVE2 or SVE2 is intended for strain
monitoring only. It is not suitable for use as the controlling channel when conducting a
test in strain control.
The following tables list the connections, requirements and configuration details for
each testing system operating with Bluehill
