Attach the L3/L2 Plus Workstation as follows: 1. Connect the USB 2.0 cable to the associated testing frame. 2. Connect the USB 2.0 cable to the Workstation. When you launch the L3 or L2 Plus applications, press the crosshead jog switch. If the Workstation and software are communicating properly, the crosshead will move at a rated speed. If no communications are present, the crosshead will move extremely slowly, indicating that communications is not taking place between the devices. Check your cable connections if this occurs. NOTE If the crosshead on your MMD or FMD Series frames moves very slowing once the Workstation is connected and the software is launched, it is indication of a communication hardware error. Check you USB cable connections. NOTE Make sure your MMD Series power cable can reach your power outlet, allowing some slack in the cable, and allowing for personnel to easily and quickly access the cable in the event of an emergency. WARNING NEVER use a power extension cord with your MMD Series system. Your MMD and FMD Series requires “clean” and stable electrical power. Power fluctuations and surges may cause performance problems that may lead to extensive damage to your test frame.
