Create A Cycle Test - Ametek Chatillon CS1100 User Manual

If no other stages are required, press on the "NEXT" button at the bottom of the screen to
display the "QUESTION" screen. If other stages are required, refer to the following sections.

9.5 CREATE A CYCLE TEST

A "Simple" cycle test consists of 2 stages that are repeated for a set number of times. The
first action could be (say) move upwards by 10 inches and the second action could be (say)
move downwards to the initial starting position. This action requires 2 TENSION Stages that
have stage limits of "10 in" and "0 in" respectively.
Note that the "Return" Stage is still a TENSION Stage because the crosshead does not
move below the initial starting position.
When these 2 stages have been defined, the
Icons at the right hand side of the screen and BOTH pictures show a "Tension" Stage.
This test action will perform 1 cycle, e.g. move up by 10 inches then move back to the start
of test position. Also note that the "CYCLE" button is now enabled.
To create a multi-cycle test, press on the "CYCLE" button in the center of the screen to
display the "CYCLE" screen.
