Note: Acceptable limits are dependent on the specimen you are using for the test. For detailed
information, consult your lab experts or a materials handbook.
2. Reset meter history.
Now that specimen installation is complete, reset meter history by navigating to Station Manager >
Display > Meters and clicking the Reset button.
Set Limits for the Test
The test will cycle the specimen between 0.25 kN and 0.75 kN. While the displacement limits you set earlier
are still acceptable for the test, the force limits need to be adjusted.
1. Retain the displacement limits of -5 mm to 5 mm.
These limits will help protect the equipment if the specimen breaks.
2. Set force limits that are just outside the expected values for the test.
