L3 Analyzing Your Test

5.8.2 Minimum Algorithm The Minimum algorithm is the lowest value of a variable within the data stream for a scope segment. The scope segment may be the entire test duration or a segment within the duration.

Or, you may implicitly specify your start and end scope points using values or other coefficients that can be used as anchors. Anchored coefficients display in yellow.

The scope range is normally not at the start of the test since the mini- mum result would be zero or at the load when the test started.

The Minimum algorithm reports the lowest value of load or distance for your test setup.

5.8.2.2 Minimum Algorithm Name The Minimum algorithm name may be changed from its default of Lmin when based on load.

Select below the curve to find the Minimum result for the scope range specified.

5.8.2.1 Minimum Algorithm Scope The scope for the Minimum algorithm is based on two specific points that defined the end points of a data segment.

The result name may be up to 8 characters in length and may use special characters.

You may position the scope handles along either the y-axis or x-axis to define the data segment where you are interested in analyzing.

Lmax is displayed in yellow. This identifies it as an anchored coefficient on which another coefficient (Lmin) is calculated.

Select BELOW the graph to measure the minimum load and distance at minimum load.

The scope range is established from 0.25mm and the Lmax location.
