3.2.1.8 Load Cell The Load Cell option allows you to select which load cell sensor model and capacity is to be used for your test setup. All load cell sensors are TEDs compatible. This means that they comply with IEEE 1451 and that the sensor will self-identify their model number, capacity and other key characteristics when they are connected to your Starrett testing frame. By specifying the load cell model, you can ensure that your test is always performed using the same sensor model and capacity. If you specify a Load Cell, the test will only be allowed to perform if that load cell is connected to your system. This is an optional field that may be left blank. The default is ANY, which means any load cell sensor may be used for this test setup.
3.2.1.9 Height Mode The L3 system has two operating modes: Normal and Height mode. You must specify the mode prior to creating your test setup. Height mode is used when your testing involves going to a height limit measured from the bottom of the sample. When using Height mode, the system automatically finds the datum using a height datum routine. Height mode is useful when testing springs or other samples where height is an important measurement point. When the system is in Height mode, the Height Mode indicator will read YES. When in Normal Mode, the indicator will display NO.
Height Mode is an indication only. It tells you what mode the system is currently in. When Height Mode = NO, the system is in Normal Mode. When Height Mode = YES, the system is in Height mode.
If you don’t want to designate a specific load cell to be used for this particular test setup, use the ANY options. Otherwise, selecting the target will display a list of the many load cell models and capacities available from Starrett that you can apply specifically to this test setup.
