causes the test to stop as soon as there are no torque increases during a base time increment.
Some users may wish to see a drop in torque after the yield point. Setting this parameter to
values greater than 100% allows data to be collected after the yield point by the EZ-Yield TM
software so the decrease in torque may be more easily visualized.
II.3.10 Low and High Yield Limits
These values (in Pa) can be used as a Quality Control tool. If the resulting yield stress from a
test falls outside these limits, an appropriate message is displayed and printed with the results.
Entering zero (0) for both these parameters disables this QC feature.
II.4 Toolbar and Menu Options
Note: All functions shown on the toolbar can also be accessed from the menu above the
toolbar.
II.4.1 New
Selecting New (using the New button or the New option in the File menu) displays the Test
