MultiTest-dV Operating Manual Mecmesin 7
3. MultiTest-dV – Dual Functionality
MultiTest-dV Mark 2 test stands, with firmware version 3.0.2 and above, can operate in
both standard dV mode and also dV(u) mode to allow support of ELS and extensometry
devices, in conjunction with VectorPro 5.1.0.0 or later.
By default all MultiTest-dV test stands are supplied in dV mode, to switch the test stand
to dV(u) mode both VectorPro and a dV(u) license key are required, these can both be
ordered separately from your local Mecmesin distributor.
3.1. Identifying a Mark 2 MultiTest-dV
Compatible Mark 2 MultiTest-dV test stands are identified through two key elements:
All Mark 2 MultiTest-dV test stands have an ELS port (pictured above) located halfway
up the column shroud on the right-hand side.
Located on the rear of the test stand is also an extensometer port, this is not present on
earlier Mark 1 test stands.
