5.3 SING (Single Mode)
This mode of operation is ideal for completing one cycle between manual distance limits and/or force
limit. The initial starting direction can be either in the compression or tension direction depending on
whether the “PUSH” or “PULL” buttons are pressed.
If using a Shimpo FGV-X or FGV-XY force gauge, you may set a force limit on the test stand.
TIME DELAY:
A time delay in seconds can be programmed between changes in direction by cycling the “TIME”
button through “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, or “5”.
In this mode of operation the user can display length, speed or cycle count. Display length by pressing
the “LENGTH/SPEED” button until the LED adjacent “LENGTH” is illuminated. To display speed, push
the “LENGTH/SPEED” button until the LED adjacent “SPEED” is illuminated. Finally, to display Cycle
count, press the “LENGTH/SPEED” button until there are no LED’s illuminated. When the stand is
moving in the “pull” direction, the LED next to “SPEED A” is active. When the stand platform is moving
in the “push” direction the LED next to “SPEED B” is active.
The test stand will move left or right when the respective “PUSH” or “PULL” button is selected. The
stand will continue to move until one of the following events occurs: the “STOP” button is pushed,
one of the manual limit switches are tripped, the emergency reset button is pushed, or a force limit is
reached.
Front panel display indicating force
limit for both direction.
NOTE: An RS232C output is produced when using this mode of operation; see RS232C Output Section 6.0 for
details.
To program the force limit, press the “SET” button on the front panel display while in the “SING” mode. Note
that the display adjacent the “No” box shows “F ”. Use the “TIME” and “RST” buttons to select the desired
force limit. Press “SET” to store the force limit into memory.
