5.3.3.5.0 Enter Measured Crack Sizes
The software automatically enters the crack sizes from the end of the precrack activity and the crack sizes
from the end of the test. By default, the Precrack values are the last series of crack sizes measured during
the precrack activity and the Crack values are the last series of crack sizes measured during the test. These
crack sizes are used during data analysis. Optionally, you can change these values for the test run.
