To prevent this unwanted feedback from affecting your test results, MTS MP includes a Compensate for
Fixturing feature. This feature takes advantage of the accelerometer in the load cell and compensates for
the inertial error induced by the moving mass. The Compensate for Fixturing routine is run with all fixturing
in place, but without a specimen.
Note: Inertial compensation should be adjusted every time you change the fixturing attached to
the force transducer or whenever the test frequency changes significantly.
