Validate
After aligning the load unit under no-load, static conditions, the alignment must
be verified under load. Often a system that appears to be perfectly aligned at one
load can have noticeable bending strains with a different load applied to the
specimen. This is exasperated if the specimen has excentricities or is bent. In this
case you should use the bent specimen offset feature.
The Validate tab allows you to collect data during an alignment-verification
strain cycle(s). Once the validation cycle(s) is finished, you can write the
collected data to a tab delimited text file that can be opened in Microsoft Excel to
create reports or save the graph in a graphic format.
