5.2.2.0 Opening a Station Configuration and Starting the MPE
Application
Use this task to open a station configuration file (or station) with the Station Manager application, and then
start the MPE application. The Station Manager application is a component of your MTS controller software,
which performs real-time control when you run tests. The test procedures that you create with the MPE
application manipulate resources in the station to apply forces to the physical specimen.
Note:
The instructions in this section are intended to be performed in simulation mode. See
on page 38.
1. Click the Windows Start button on your desktop and select Programs > MTS 793 Software > Station
