MTS Landmark System - Manual (Page 100)

a) From the Station Manager application main window, click the Manual Command button to bring up
manual controls.
b) Select the following parameters: Channel: Ch1, Control Mode: Displacement, Enable Manual
Command: Checked.
c) Using the slider control, slowly retract the actuator until you have enough clearance to remove the
specimen.
6. Turn off the HSM.
This is a safety precaution to take before nearing the crush zone. Note that turning the HSM off removes
power from the actuator, while leaving hydraulic power to the grips.
7. Release the lower grip and remove the specimen.
Using a tool that keeps your hands clear of the actuator, grasp the specimen and release the lower
grip. That completes the Example HCF Force Test.
