Using the 793 Station Manager Function Generator
Appendix 154
Using the 793 Station Manager Function Generator
When the pod changes to displacement control, the 793 Station Manager
Function Generator also changes to displacement control, thereby changing the
endlevels. In this situation, if you press play to start the function generator, it will
ramp to the specified displacement endlevels that could yield the specimen
rendering it useless.
A typical sequence when doing alignments:
1. Start station manager. Typically the Function Generator will be in force
control.
