4.3 TEST AND DATA STAGES The Test stage is where you specify your limits and crosshead velocity for your test method. This section will describe the options and attributes of the Test stage for each test template type in your L1 software. The Data stage is where you specify your results, i.e., what you want to measure and display. This section will describe how to setup your test method and select or modify the results.
4.3.1 LOAD LIMIT TEST The Load Limit Test is used to measure and report the Distance result at the Load Limit. When you launch the Load Limit test template, the test template menu has these basic attributes: • Type • Target Load • Hold Duration • Speed
Open the TEST stage to setup your test method.

Once the TEST stage is completed, use the DATA stage to setup which additional results you want to display and where you want to apply a tolerance for "pass" or "fail" status.
4.3.1.1 TEST TYPE The Test Option launches with the Type = Tension. Tension means you want to perform a Pull test, e.g. you want the crosshead to move in an upward direction. If you want to perform a Compression test (also called a Push test), change the Type to Compression. 4.3.1.2 TARGET LOAD The Target Load value is the load limit setpoint. You want the crosshead to pull your sample until the measured load = your specified Target Load value. Load units may be newtons (N), pounds-force (lbf), kilogram- force(kgf) and for lighter load sensors additionally gram-force (gf) and ounce-force (ozf). You may specify the units of measure for Load using the Pre Test options. Enter numerical data using the keypad at the bottom of the display or using the keyboard supplied with your L1 tablet.
