Tuning Force
To complete this task, you will make sure the force tuning values
established in your station parameter set are appropriate for the test
you are about to run. To do this, you will:
• Create and apply a simple tuning program.
• Evaluate the current force tuning values by comparing command
and feedback signals.
The displacement tuning values established in the station parameter set
are unlikely to require adjustment. Optimal force tuning values,
however, are a function of your specimen’s compliance, which may
change over time, or from test-to-test. You should also tune force
whenever you make any change to the force train (such as changing
fixtures).
Prerequisites Be sure the following items are done before you begin tuning the force
control mode:
• Hydraulic pressure is off.
• The specimen is not installed.
• You have created a station configuration file.
• You have created a station parameter set.
Tuning procedure Refer to “How to manually tune the force control mode” in Chapter 2,
Common Tasks of the FlexTest SE Users manual for a detailed tuning
procedure.
