5. Click the Command tab.
A. Click Lookup Table Path/File to define the file path for the text file
that includes the lookup tables for the SBC process.
B. Enter the Transition Time (the time it takes to ramp the command to
the current SBC command level).
A high-speed transition time can result in an unwanted spike (or bump) in
the command signal.
Unwanted command-signal spikes can damage the test specimen.
To avoid spikes in the command signal, use a transition time that smoothly
transitions the channel commands to the initial SBC command level.
C. Select the Duration Time check box and enter the amount of time that
the process remains active. Clear the Duration Time check box to set
the duration time to “Indefinite.”
6. Click the Mapping tab and define SBC parameters for each control channel.
A. Assign a Lookup Table (or “Not Used”) to each control channel.
B. Assign a Lookup Signal to each channel.
C. Assign a Control Mode to each channel.
