L2 Plus Performing a Test

4.3.1.1 Load Limit Step Message Load Limit steps are available for either tensile or compressive test steps. The Load Limit step moves the crosshead until a load limit or load setpoint established for this step is achieved. The Load Limit step message will tell you the step number, the direction of crosshead motion, the limit setpoint and the velocity to this step.

4.3.1.3 Break Message Break steps are available for either tensile or compressive test steps. The Break step moves the crosshead until a break limit, defined as a percentage drop in load after a maximum load is reached, is achieved. The Break step message will tell you the step number, the direction of crosshead motion, the break setpoint and the velocity to this step.

4.3.1.4 Hold Message Hold steps are available for either load or distance test steps. The Hold step holds the crosshead at a previous step’s load or distance limit for a specified time duration. The Hold step message will tell you the step number, the hold type (load or distance), and the hold duration to the end of the hold step.

4.3.1.2 Distance Limit Step Message Distance Limit steps are available for either tensile or compressive test steps. The Distance Limit step moves the crosshead until a distance limit or distance setpoint established for this step is achieved. The Distance Limit step message will tell you the step number, the direction of crosshead motion, the limit setpoint and the velocity to this step.
