NOTE: Entering a zero value for distance on any of the test points disable
that particular test point.
Available Set up Options:
•
Threshold – this value is used to determine if the compression plate
made contact with test sample. It is recommended that a max
value of 0.2% of FS be used as the threshold value for testing.
•
Cycles – number of repetition for test that requires more than one
test to be performed on a particular cycle. Max cycle from the test
stand can be set to as high as 9,999 times.
•
AP (Approaching Point Distance) - Approaching distance from the
set HOME position. This function is very useful for testing samples
with different heights. Setting the value to “0” disables this function
and sets the threshold value as the main control for determining
where the test points starts (P1—P5).
•
Force – force limits to prevent the force gauge bracket to move
forward or backwards once the set force has been detected.
•
Direction – UP or Down direction for testing.
•
Time – or Dwell time once the set distance has been reached.
STD or Standard Mode
This is the same as the regular test stand, allows users to have a preload value
to be set on the test stand to simulate real application conditions.
Similar to the TOP load test it has the same parameters and available options
with the absence of the threshold value which is replaced by PL or preload.
•
Cycles – number of repetition for test that requires more than one test to
be performed on a particular cycle. Max cycle from the test stand can be
set to as high as 9,999 times.
•
AP (Approaching Point Distance) - Approaching distance from the set
HOME position. This function is very useful for testing samples with
different heights. Setting the value to “0” disables this function and sets
the threshold value as the main control for determining where the test
points starts (P1—P5).
•
Force – force limits to prevent the force gauge bracket to move forward or
backwards once the set force has been detected.
•
Direction – UP or Down direction for testing.
•
Time – or Dwell time once the set distance has been reached.
NOTE: In both test types if the value for distance is set to zero the program
ignores that test point.
Important to have the HOME position predetermined before entering parameter
settings.
