Note This tab appears only if you have purchased the data acquisition option
of the Time History Output process (Model 793.72).

acquisition, and you hold and resume a test, there will be slight
differences between the digitized response and the response you would
have seen if the test had run without holding.These differences should
not be statistically significant.
