4.2 Auto return
With this function, the crosshead moves to a limit switch or soft limit (force set point, distance limit,
preload, or break), whichever occurs first, and stops. Then, the crosshead returns to the other limit and
stops. The test speed is dictated by the setting described in the previous section. The return speed is
locked to maximum speed. The maximum speed depends on whether or not the optional high speed
range has been installed.
Default setting: off
Available settings: off, on

4.3.1 Cycling (CYCLES)
This setting allows the user to configure the number of up and down cycles through which the crosshead
will sequence. One cycle consists of the crosshead moving to a limit switch or soft limit, whichever occurs
first, at the specified speed, stopping for the specified amount of dwell time, and returning to the other
limit at the specified speed. If the Independent Speeds function is not enabled, the speed will be the same
in both directions.
Default setting: 00000 (off)
Available settings: 00000 – 99999
