Then the testing cycle will be performed automatically as following: load application showing as
figure 5.3.2, the load holding showing as figure 5.3.3 with dwell time counting down, finally
unloading is performed immediately when the dwell time has finished.
After that, all the test results will be shown on the display as in figure 5.3.4.
Rotate the hand wheel in counter-clockwise to lower the anvil, and the screen returns to figure
