User guide

• Load becomes greater than 1.00 kN (Termination Condition)
• Specimen failure is detected
• One of the other branches of the Parallel Branch activity (such as a limit detection branch) completes
The Brake Distance control provides control-mode braking, which slows the command to help avoid
overshoot. The brake value is subtracted from the Termination Condition value to determine where
control-mode braking starts. In this case, the Termination Condition is 1.00 kN and the Brake Distance
is set to 100 N, at 900 N the command slows to 10% of the Test Rate (0.3 mm/s), and at 990 N, command
slows to 1% of the Test Rate (0.03 mm/s).
Modifying the Finish Section
Requirements
• The test needs to automatically generate a test report and send it to a manager via e-mail when 24
test runs have been performed.
Modifications to the Finish section
• Change the Maximum Test Runs variable to 24.
• Enable the Run Report activity and select the Send report in e-mail option.
Changing the Maximum Test Runs Variable
1. Click the Variables subtab (Define tab > Variables subtab).
2. Select the Maximum Test Runs variable from the list of available variables and, in the Properties Panel,
