The test command cycles between ±0.0001 strain and you are monitoring a force signal.
Once a peak or valley on the force signal changes more than ± 50 lbs, the activity generates a trigger
signal that starts a Data Acquisition activity.
The Data Acquisition activity would use the Peak-Valley Change Detector activity as its trigger. A single
Data Acquisition activity could be run multiple times with this change detector.
Note:
It is a best practice to specify a number of cycles to run before you begin monitoring to allow a
settling-in period.
