Operating Considerations
A typical test worksheet, which enables you to preplan a
test program, is included in Chapter 7. With the blank
spaces filled in where applicable, the worksheet serves
as a permanent record for future reference. This record
is important even for repetitive testing routines during
which parameters may remain unchanged for a period of
time. Even though most parameters are stored in the non-
volatile memory, these would revert to a default value if
you enter the system reset sequence, [S1] [0] [ENTER].
Appendix A to this manual provides supplementary in-
formation if you need assistance in planning a materials
testing procedure. A section on the introduction to test-
ing contains details about determining load require-
ments, establishing gauge length and choosing a testing
speed.
Appendix B is a glossary of mechanical properties and
tests for materials testing applications which you can ref-
erence for specific materials testing terms.
