Emodumeter Setup Menus
By pressing the “Enter” key, the user will be able to change the
testing parameters. The first option is the testing Mode. The user
can select Longitudinal (E), Transverse (E) or Torsional (G) by
using the lef
t and right arrow keys. By pressing “Enter” in one of
these modes, the user can manually input the value of G or E,
needed to compute Poisson’s ratio. The unit will obtain one of
these values according to the testing Mode selected (the output of
the test) and will use the user input value for the other variable.
The other option that the user can control in the Setup Menu is the
shape of the specimen. According to the user selection, different
parameters related to the dimensions of the specimen will appear in
the same screen. The user can change the values using the left
and right arrow keys by pressing “Enter.” This action opens another
screen, allowing the user to control and change parameters before
running a test. The dimensions needed are the same that are
required by the ASTM C-215.
