When the test is allowed to run to completion, one of the following screens (Figures IV-78 through
IV-81) are displayed:
Figure IV-78 is displayed when the yield test passes. The % torque and stress (in Pa) at the point
of yield are displayed along with the temperature (in °C) at the conclusion of test.

Figure IV-80
Figure IV-81 is displayed when the yield test fails due to the resultant yield stress exceeding the
user defined limits. The actual yield stress measured during the test is displayed in the first field to
the right of the "Yield=", while the limiting value causing the failed test (high or low yield stress)
is displayed in the second field.

After screens IV-78 through IV-81 are displayed, pressing the MOtOr ON/OFF/eSC key returns
the screen to Figure IV-70. At this point, after ensuring the appropriate spindle is attached, the
eNter key can be pressed to run the test again. Pressing the eNter key when any of these screens
is displayed immediately runs the test again and displays the first appropriate Run screen (Figure
IV-72 through IV-75). When the test is complete, the results are sent out of both the parallel and
serial (RS-232) ports.
