Data Capture within VectorPro™
To use AFG Control/Force Control tests in conjunction with VectorPro first program
the test settings using the stand’s front panel and/or AFG and then create a VectorPro
test using the AFG/Force control operation, ensuring the speed and test direction match
your configuration.
Please note the speed and test direction use the settings configured within VectorPro,
while other test settings are loaded from the front panel. For more information please
refer to the VectorPro user manual, part no. 431-955.
