Description Item
Shows the control mode between parentheses ( ) when connected to a station. Control
modes are controller-dependent. Control Mode
Note:
The active control mode is shown for one channel only if there is one channel
with more than one mode.
Situational Awareness Panel
Caution :
Although the actuator shown in the virtual diagram will move as you change settings, the
crosshead shown in the diagram remains stationary. The space you see between the crosshead
and table top on the diagram is not consistent with the space on the actual load frame.
Moving the actuator when there is inadequate space between the crosshead and the table
top can cause load cell or specimen damage.
Before moving the actuator, ensure there is adequate space between the crosshead and table
top on the actual load frame.
The Situational Awareness panel shows virtual diagrams for signals that you want to monitor and modify
(see the following figure). If they are not viewable on the panel, you may have to move the horizontal scroll
bar to the right.
