End/Stop Button
Used to tell the system to finish the cycle. It can also be used anytime the machine is in cycle to stop the
cycle. If pressed while in cycle to stop a cycle a conformation screen is displayed to ask if you are sure that
you wish to abort the cycle.
NOTE:
When the machine is in cycle the “Process Time” and “Unload Time” are grayed
out, this means that they can not be changed at this point.
Near the top of the display is a status bar that will show the current state of the machine cycle. Below are the
different states in the order that they usually run.
Off State
Displays when the system is sitting idle. No cycle is running. The system will sit here until the “Start” button is
pressed. Then it will move into the “Running” state.
Running State
Displays when the machine cycle is running. The system will stay here until the “Process Time” has expired.
Then it will move into the “Unload” state.
Unload State
Displays when the system is in this state it will unload the weight from the load train. The system will stay here
until the “Unload Time” has expired. Then it will go into the “Test Complete” state.
