Specify Testing Parameters

To use strain control:
1. Double click or select Edit on the
desired protocol line to open Set
Parameter Editor
2. Select Strain From Image as the
Control Mode. This mode will only
be available if a scientific camera
set up is connected.
3. Select Sinusoid or Ramp control
function.
4. Magnitude is in % and is calculated
as the change in length divided by
the initial length at the start of the
stretch phase. The initial length is
updated after preloads.
System Alert: Preload with Strain from Images
When using preloads with the strain from images control mode, the force control
velocity parameter must be set to a value of 4 or lower. Higher velocity settings may
result in failure to execute the preload due to the image tracking algorithm speeds.
If the force control velocity setting is greater than 4, it will automatically be reduced to 4
upon executing the test to ensure successful completion of the preloads and test
protocol.
