2.1.1.7 SET HOME Function Pressing the SET HOME target automatically sets the position of the crosshead as the home position, e.g. where the test is started from. You may press the SET HOME when manually starting a test, or you may configure your test setup to automatically SET HOME when you select the START TEST target. Setting Home allows the crosshead to automatically return to this exact position for the next test run.
2.1.1.8 START/PAUSE/STOP Function The Controller window displays the START TEST-STOP TEST function. If an extensometer is used, the STOP TEST function also includes the ability to PAUSE a test turn. The START-STOP target operates identically to the Start/Stop push button on your MMS or MMD Series test frame. NOTE Starrett recommends that you use the Start/Stop push button to start or stop your test. This will help eliminate longer term issues on your touchscreen display where repeated touches can mare the display. The START/STOP function can be used to Start a Test, Pause a Test, or Stop a Test. If you are using an extensometer and want to remove it from the sample prior to sample break, you press the Start/Stop push button to stop (pause) the test. You can resume, by pressing the Start/ Stop push button again. During an active test, the display will show STOP TEST. This is indication that the crosshead is active.
