8.8 Loads Setting The Load Setting is used to specify options and characteristics concerning load measurement.
8.6.5 Enable Cell Calibrations When the Enable Cell Calibrations option is YES, the system is in calibration mode and should not be used for testing. Enable Cell Calibrations must be set to NO when the system is being used for testing. WARNING Calibration should be performed by personnel experienced in calibrating a Starrett load cell sensor and test frame. Improper calibration will result in erroneous measurements and may cause permanent damage to the load cell sensor and test frame. 8.7 Motion Setting The Motion setting is used to establish the highest test speed/velocity that the test system crosshead may travel. This value limits the crosshead velocity for test step setup and for the maximum speed velocity that is controlled by the jog switch. The default Motion setting is factory set at the maximum allowed speed for that Starrett test frame. Adjusting the Motion setting downward reduces the maximum allowed crosshead speed to this value.

8.8.1 Load Sign Assignment The “Export with minus sign” function lets you specify how to designate a compression load using a negative sign. Tensile loads will have a positive sign (no sign actually shown), while compression loads will display a negative sign. Or, you may choose to reverse the sign so that tensile loads have a negative sign to distinguish them from a compression load (no sign). When the selection = Compression, compression results will be displayed with a negative sign. Tensile results will display without a sign. When the selection = Tension, tensile results will be displayed with a negative sign. Compressive results will display without a sign.
