Model ESM301 Programmable Force Test Stand 

 

 

 
As in Basic Mode, the 

min

max

, and 

set 

soft keys are active dur-

ing crosshead movement.  
 
When the cycling sequence and the crosshead has stopped at a 
force set point or travel distance set point, the limit condition may 
be overridden by pressing and holding 

UP

 or 

DOWN

 for two sec-

onds. 

 
 

6.4.1 Dwell time 

 
Dwell time is the amount of time, in seconds, for which the cross-
head stops at a limit during a cycle sequence. When the crosshead 
has reached a limit, a counter will be displayed, shown as follows:   
 

 

 
If the 

DWELL U

 and/or 

DWELL L

 settings are set to 0, the cross-

head will immediately reverse direction upon reaching the corre-
sponding limit, and no counter will be displayed. 

 

The cycle sequence may be interrupted before it has been com-
pleted by pressing 

STOP

. A soft key labeled 

RESET

 will appear as 

follows:
