MTS Landmark System - Manual (Page 68)

For specimen installation, select a low compression limit to reduce the chance of specimen damage
or injury. While -0.05 kN is shown here as an example, you should use a limit that adheres to your lab's
specimen installation guidelines.
a) Enter -.050 kN in the Lower Limit text box (a negative number indicates compression). Be sure to
press Enter after typing in the limit.
b) Once again, select Interlock for the Lower Action.

1. Select Exclusive Control.
In the Station Manager application main window, select the Exclusive Control check box. This allows
