MultiTest-x can store up to five such procedures. Pressing [Stop/BK SP] will load the
procedure selected; for example, after clicking [1] twice, thus selecting Procedure 3, a
screen similar to this
will be displayed.
Note that this is the ‘live’ test screen, i.e. gently pushing or pulling the loadcell will
change the load reading. This screen is indicating that:
• Procedure 3 is loaded, and ready to run
• The current load reading is -0.2N. (Note than when there is no load this reading
could typically be displaying readings of: -0.2, -0.1, 0.0, 0.1 or 0.2N due to small
levels of noise on the signal from the 5000N Xtra loadcell connected in this

• The current length reading is 0.00mm
• The current speed of the crosshead is 0.0mm/min
To leave the ‘live screen’ and return to the Main Menu, press the [1/Menu] key.
