L1 Force System User Manual

ENGLISH

8.5.2 DIAGNOSTICS FILE LOCATION The Diagnostics file location is used to house diagnostic files that can be created should the user experience an issue with their L1 software. Selecting the L1 symbol (upper right) and holding when a problem is experienced creates a file that is saved to the Diagnostic directory. This file can then be emailed to your Starrett representative or evaluation and recommendations. The default location for Diagnostics files is the Metlogix directory on your L1 tablet and the Diagnostics sub-directory. 8.5.3 EXPORTS FILE LOCATION Using the Post Test step, you have the ability to export data and results. The File Location setting is used to map where the exported files are sent and saved. Files are .csv types. Data and result files can be exported automatically at the completion of a test run using the Post Test output options. Or, you can export data and results on-demand using the Export function. The default location for Export files is the Metlogix directory on your L1 tablet and the Exports sub-directory. 8.5.4 RUNS FILE LOCATION Individual tests are called "runs". Each run has a unique file that contains the individual data points that were acquired during the test based on the Sampling Rate that your have specified in the Pre Test step. Runs files may only be opened using the L1 software application. The default location for Runs files is the Metlogix directory on your L1 tablet and the Runs sub-directory. 8.5.5 TEMPLATES FILE LOCATION The Template location may be used to save test setups that you do not want to have accessible on your L1 system. As a "template" these files may serve as a test that can be copied and used for other materials or components. A "template" can be created that has a common sequence as another test setup, but which has different step attributes. Templates can help speed up the creation of new test methods. NOTE A test setup that is saved to the Template location will not appear on the Home view. This test cannot be used on the system until it has been copied or moved to the Tests directory. The default location for Template files is the Metlogix directory on your L1 tablet and the Templates sub-directory. 8.5.6 TESTS FILE LOCATION The Tests directory contains the "active" test setups for your L1 System. These tests appear in the Home directory. The default location for Test files is the Metlogix directory on your L1 tablet and the Tests sub-directory. CAUTION The Test files are the source file for a test. If this file is removed from the Tests directory it will not appear on the main Home directory. If a Test file is deleted, the test and all associated Runs are deleted.

LOAD CELL CORRECTIONS

WARNING The Load Cell Correction functions are restricted to personnel who are authorized to calibrate a Starrett load cell sensor. Use by inexperienced and untrained personnel can result in permanent damage to the load cell sensor and your testing system. The Load Cell Corrections setting is used for calibrating a load cell that is connected to your testing frame. This section will describe some of the functions available. The procedures for calibrating a Starrett load cell sensor may be obtained through your Starrett representative. 8.7 MOTION 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 LOADS The Load Setting is used to specify options and characteristics concerning load measurement. Shown: Crosshead velocity MOTION setting
