Select BREAK or LIMIT as per Reverse sub-menu 2 (above)
and SET the appropriate value at which you require the test
stand to stop.
Select and SET UPPER load-limit, LOWER load-limit and the
number of CYCLES you wish to perform (range = 2 - 9999).
Start the test by pushing the UP or DOWN switch on your test
stand. The test stand will move to the UPPER load-limit and
then travel back to the LOWER load-limit to perform the first
cycle. Subsequent cycles will be performed and a cycle-
counter is shown on the main display.
Note:
a) It is assumed that starting a test in the UP direction
applies a tension force, and in the DOWN direction a
compression force is applied.
b) The total number of cycles must be completed .. e.g. if a
sample breaks during the test, the AFG will try to continue
applying load for the set number of cycles.
c) WARNING: At the end of your cycle test, the test sample
could still be under load.
When one of the stand control options (REVERSE, STOP or
CYCLE) have been set press ENTER key. The display will
revert back to STAND sub-menu 1 and STAND ON will now
be displayed. Press ESC key to return to main-menu page 1.
This feature is used to ‘freeze’ the main-display when an
external signal is received. The AFG can be configured to
freeze when going either low 1-0 (LO) or high 0-1 (HI). This
is particularly useful for applications where an event occurs
(e.g. switch testing). To clear the main-menu display press the
RESET key.
To configure this function, press and hold the MENU key until
page 1 of the main-menu appears. Press the DOWN key to
move the arrow cursor to FREEZE and press the ENTER key.
Select the desired LO or HI function using UP or DOWN
arrow key and press ENTER key to select. When set the sub-
menu will display FREEZE ON. To disable the FREEZE
function, press the ENTER key. FREEZE OFF will now be
displayed. Press ESC key to return to main-menu page 1.
