specify a numeric value and unit of measure or a
variable.
Select a compensator to improve the tracking and
accuracy of the control loop for the selected channel. Compensator
The choices are:
• No Compensator
• Static and Dynamic Null Pacing—Static null
pacing holds the command at its segment
boundaries to allow the sensor feedback more
time to reach its target peak.
• Dynamic null pacing reduces the command
frequency. As a result, the sensor feedback has
more time to track the command.
Advanced Note:
• The actuator may still be moving while the
application is in a Stop state. Unexpected
actuator movement can result in injury to
personnel or damage to the equipment.
• Use Ignore Program State only to return
the load to zero when the test shuts down.
Click Ignore Program State to allow the ramp to
occur even if the program state is not currently in
Run. This property may be used in some templates
to return the load to zero when the test shuts down,
such as when an interlock occurs.
Select the channel or multiple channels to use for
the activity. Channel List
