MTS Multipurpose Elite Test - Manual (Page 103)

Warning:
Immediate and unexpected actuator response is possible when you apply a manual offset to
your system. If the Current Value shown on the Offset/Zero tab is zero, a manual offset will
cause the actuator to move to the new zero position.
Sudden actuator movement can cause injury and equipment damage.
Never apply a manual offset to a sensor being used by the active control mode while station
power is on.
1. Select an access level of Operator or above.
2. In the Station Manager window, click Display > Station Setup.
3. On the Station Setup window navigation tab, select the input signal that you want to offset.
4. On the Inputs panel, click the Offset/Zero tab.
5. On the Offset/Zero tab, move the Manual Offset slider to apply an offset, or enter a value for the offset
and click Enter on the keyboard.
Note:
If necessary, click the Manual Offset text to open a window where you can change the slider-bar
range.
7.5.0 Adding Station Resources
Controller hardware resources are the physical components (such as conditioner cards) installed in the
controller chassis. A test station is a collection of the hardware resources required to run a particular test.
This information is defined in a station configuration file. Station configuration files are created using the
Station Builder application.
Because a controller can run multiple test stations, a configuration file for each station is required to define
the hardware resources (controller resources) used by that station. Stations that share hardware resources
cannot run at the same time.
MTS created your hardware configuration file for you and installed it on your system. As testing requirements
change, you may need to use the Station Builder application to add additional hardware resources to the
station configuration file.
When the Multipurpose Elite application connects to the station configuration, it reads the resources in the
station configuration. If the current test resources do not match the controller resources, you must map the
resources as necessary.
