3. Configure two Peak/Valley meters to measure force feedback and
displacement feedback signals.
4. Calculate the specimen stiffness (K):
5. Calculate the Conversion Gain value:
Note For a more conservative estimate, use 80% of the calculated
Conversion Gain value. When using asymmetrical Fullscale values
enter the difference between the values.
How to Tune a Dual Compensation Control Mode
1. Tune the control mode that supplies the primary feedback signal (base
control mode).
2. Select an access level of Tuning:
Standalone FlexTest SE Controllers: Select Setup > Tuning.
Automated Controllers: In the Station Manager window’s toolbar, select
an access level of Tuning.
3. Display the compensation controls of the dual compensation control mode.
Standalone FlexTest SE Controllers: Select Setup > desired Dual
Compensation control mode > desired compensation method.
Automated Controllers:
A. In the Station Manager window’s Display menu, select Station
Setup.
B. In the Station Setup window’s navigation pane, locate and select the
dual compensation control mode being tuned.
C. In the Station Setup window, click .
