Set Limits for Specimen Installation

You can reduce the chances of specimen damage or injury by setting limits that control the amount of
force read at the sensor. However, even with limits set, do not rely solely on the force sensor to protect
you from injury.
1. Set the displacement limits to a wide range that will not interfere with specimen installation.
This is acceptable because this Example Tension Test uses no fixturing that requires
protection.
A. In the Station Manager main window, select Display > Station Setup, and click the
Channel Input Signals button.

C. Select the Limits tab.
