5.5.2.7.0 Data Storage Parameters
Data Storage Parameters
Description Parameter
Specify the percentage of precrack activity
that must complete before data is saved to
disk. Precrack Save Percent
Limit
Specify the cycle intervals written to disk
during the precrack activity. Store Every Nth Pre-crack
Cycle
Specify the lower load limit for linear least
squares fit compliance used to determine
when to start saving data to disk. Lower Least Squares Fit
Percentage
Specify the upper load limit for linear least
squares fit compliance used to determine
when to start saving data to disk. Upper Least Squares Fit
Percentage
5.5.2.8.0 Test Termination Parameters
Test Termination Parameters
Description Parameter
Specify the load that, if reached, stops the
test. JIC Maximum Load
Specify the crack opening displacement that,
if reached, stops the test. JIC Maximum COD
Specify the displacement that, if reached,
stops the test. JIC Maximum
Displacement
Specify the crack size that, if reached, stops
the test. JIC Maximum Crack Size
Specify the crack extension that, if reached,
stops the test. JIC Maximum Crack

5.5.2.9.0 Assign Precrack Values
Specify these parameters if the specimen was precracked on another load frame. When the precrack
parameters are specified here, you can then skip Precrack Specimen in the Main Menu window.
