L3 Creating a Test

3.4.5 Minimum/Maximum/Averaging Coefficients The Min/Max/Avg result is likely one of the most frequently used coefficients. It allows you to find the maximum values within a test or a range such as tensile strength or bulk strength. And like the example shown below, the maximum or minimum values from this coefficient may be used as an anchor on which to determine other values within your data stream, such as the load or stress 100mS after the maximum load or stress.

Minimum Maximum

Average

The Lmax marker was found using the Min/ Max/Avg tool. Selecting ABOVE the graph trace identifies the Maximum result. Selecting BELOW the graph trace identifies the Minimum result.

The Lmax marker is highlited showing it is an anchored marker used to find another value LPt. The Lmax was found first using the Min/Max/ AVG tool. Selecting above the graph trace and moving scope handles to capture the max location. The active marker shows the results at 0.1 seconds after Lmax.
