Set Limits for Specimen Installation
You can reduce the chances of specimen damage or injury by setting limits that control the amount of
force read at the sensor. However, even with limits set, do not rely solely on the force sensor to protect
you from injury.

This is acceptable because this Example Tension Test uses no fixturing that requires
protection.
