Description

Parameter

Specify the wave shape of the command
signal.

FCG Wave Shape

The choices are True Sine or True Ramp.
Typically, you use a True Ramp wave shape
where uniform strain-rate sensitivity is
important, and a True Sine wave shape
where a continually varying strain rate is
acceptable because of the higher frequencies
of some tests.

Specify the load level at which the voltage is
measured. This parameter is used only for
FCG DCPD tests.

5.3.2.6.0 Constant Load Control Mode Parameters

Constant Load Control Mode Parameters

Description

Parameter

Specify the ratio of the minimum to maximum
load applied to the specimen. The minimum

FCG Load Ratio

load is determined by this value and the
maximum load is specified by you.

Specify the desired end level of the command
signal.

FCG End Level 1

Specify the cycle frequency of the command
signal.

FCG Frequency

Specify the wave shape of the command
signal.

FCG Wave Shape

The choices are True Sine or True Ramp.
Typically, you use a True Ramp wave shape
where uniform strain-rate sensitivity is
important, and a True Sine wave shape
where a continually varying strain rate is
acceptable because of the higher frequencies
of some tests.

Specify the voltage that is measured at this
load level. This parameter is used only for
FCG DCPD tests.
