Description

Control

Park. Move the test station actuator or actuators to
the prescribed park position.

Park

Caution

:

The Park command attempts to move to
the specified position without regard for
the possible force applied to a mounted
specimen or other object in the actuator
path.

Do not use the Park command under
load control without fully understanding
the implications of a change from load
control to position control.

Use extreme caution when performing
any action that can result in a change in
the control mode.

The target end level and the time it takes (rate) to
achieve the park position are set in the Control Panel
window, accessed from the Preferences menu.

This button is active except when a test is loaded
and in the Running or Held states. If you click this
button when a test is loaded and in the Initialized or
Stopped states, the test automatically stops.
