3.0 Operation
This section provides a walk through of the operations needed to capture a tension test and export to a report
document.
3.1 Connect to the Scale
First, connect the ScETTR program to a ScaleCore device for tension data input. Refer to Section 1.4 on page 2 and
the user guide for the equipment for complete details.
3.2 Enter Test Information
Enter (or edit) all information about the test that is to be conducted. See Section 2 on page 7
Note
Future support will include multiple users with login credentials.
3.3 Start Recording
Press the green Start button to begin taking tension samples from the ScaleCore device. Note the test start time will
automatically update to the current computer time.
3.4 Apply Tension
Apply tension to the system as required for the application. The ScETTR program will continue to capture data.
3.5 Stop Recording
Press the red Stop button to end the tension sampling. Note the test stop time will automatically update to the
current computer time. Optionally, if needed, the test can be restarted at this point by pressing the start button
again. The captured data will be added to the current data. When the stop button is pressed again, the test stop time
will be automatically updated, reflecting the full length of the test. The test data can be cleared by pressing the clear
button if needed. This will permanently erase all currently captured test data, essentially restarting the test.

tension data can be saved or archived by pressing the
New/Save button.

A dialog will appear asking for confirmation of the action to archive the records. If all information is entered
correctly, press
yes . The test data will be validated and archived. If successful, the test data will be cleared and the
program will be ready to start another test.

report document, select
