709 Alignment System Options 67
Thin Rectangular
Specimen Orientation
Typically, for systems using the thin rectangular specimen, the mounting
orientation of the specimen will be such that the back of the specimen (G12) will
face the back of the test machine (load unit). However, because of mounting
requirements for some systems (for example, side loading grips inside an
environmental chamber), the specimen might be mounted such that the front of
the specimen faces to one side on the test machine.
When the Turn 90 Degrees Sideways In Grips is checked, the software adjusts
the readouts and displays on the Align tab.
