Setting Options
Start Direction Choose whether the test direction is upward or downward.
Test Sub-Type Select the test sub-type (Options are listed above).
Limit Force Limit and Cyclic Tests Only - Enter the target load for the test.
Return Force Cyclic Tests Only - Enter the start load for the test.
Cycle Count Cyclic Tests Only - Enter the number of cycles to be completed.
Break Threshold
Move to Break Test Only – Enter the percentage drop from current
maximum load recorded, to activate the break detection.
Example: Current load maximum reading is 1000N, with 80% setting
the load drop must reach 200N before break detection activates.
Min Break Threshold
Move to Break Test Only - Enter the minimum break threshold
(value of load that the test value must rise above for a break
condition to be detected).
 AFG must be connected and ON to set this parameter
Examples
Force Limit
 Up Speed: 100 mm/min
 Down Speed: 100 mm/min
 Start Direction: Down
 Test Sub-Type: Force Limit
 Limit Force: 50 N
The crosshead moves down at 100 mm/min until the applied load is 50 N from tared
zero, once the limit force is reached the test stops.
