Running the Example HCF Test
60 Landmark™ Test System Operation
6. Ensure that the HSM (hydraulic service manifold) is off.
Turning the HSM off removes power from the actuator so that it cannot move unexpectedly
during load frame inspection or specimen installation.
Note: It is acceptable to leave the pump (HPU) on, as it may be needed for other
stations and also leaves power to the hydraulic grips for specimen installation.
7. Identify the current configuration and parameter set.
The configuration and parameter set currently in use is shown in the title bar of the Station
Manager application. For this test, the title bar should read "Training config.cfg: Hard
Specimen Tuning".
Verify Calibration Files
It is important to verify that the Station Manager calibration files match the load cell (force sensor) and
actuator LVDT to help ensure that you collect valid data.
