QUALIFY OPERATION
Some of the hardware functions of the PT-2000 can be verified with the qualify
operation screen.
 Current Load – displays the force currently measured by the load cell. It will be
displayed in the selected units.
 Current Speed – displays the set speed of the test platform.
 AD Reading – displays the hardware counts measured on the control board from
the load cell interface. Pulling on the load cell grip will display values greater
than 32000. Pushing on the load cell grip will display values less than 32000.
 Test Speed – is a method of verifying the speed of the test platform. The test
platform will move 4 inches at the set speed and measure the amount of time
that it takes to travel 4 inches.
 Verify Load Cell – will sample the load cell data for 10 seconds. A test can be
simulated with a weight sitting on the calibration pad to verify the load cell
calibration if necessary. The test platform will not move, the system will simply
measure the load cell and display a graph along with the statistics when the 10
seconds is complete.
