18.7 MOTION The Motion setting lets you change the maximum velocity of your FMS frame. The maximum velocity is 60 inches per minute (1525 mm per minute). This velocity is not used for testing. The maximum allowed test speed is 50 inches per minute (1270mm per minute). The maximum velocity is used for the fast jog switch- the crosshead will move at the maximum velocity when the jog switch is pressed and held in position. The maximum velocity for all FMS frames is 60 inches per minute. The maximum test speed velocity is 50 inches per minute. When you set the velocity, you are setting the maximum velocity used when the jog switch is pressed and held, e.g. the rate of speed the crosshead can travel when not being used to testing, e.g. return speed.

18.8 LOADS The Load Settings lets you establish various load measurement attributes and safety options. The Export with minus sign is used to designate a sign with either your compression or tension measurement in order to distinguish the two different types of loads. Generally, compression is displayed as a "negative" number. The Grip load setting provides you with the ability to enter the load capacity for your testing fixtures. At times you may use a test fixture with a much lower load capacity than your sensor's load capacity. Setting a Grip load will protect your test fixture. If this load is measured, the test will abort. The Frame capacity is automatic. All Starrett testing frames are self- identifying by your L2 controller. The load capacity of the frame is automatically recognized and saved in the L2 controller.The frame capacity dictates and controls the maximum measurable load for your system. The Current load cell is automatic. All Starrett load cell sensors are TEDS compliant to IEEE 1451. The sensor plugged into your Starrett load frame is self-identifying and the sensor's characteristics are automatically recognized by your L2 controller. Load sensor deflection, for example, is automatically compensated for.

Use to assign a "sign" to either tension or compression. Normally, compression is a negative number.

Use to assign a particular FLC load cell sensor to the frame or to a test setup. Use the touch target to sequence through all of the available FLC load sensors.

When the L2 Controller is connected to the FMS Frame via the USB cable, the software automatically recognizes the frame and the frame's maximum load capacity.

The Grip Load is used to protect your gripping fixture from damage due to overloading. Set the Grip Load to a load capacity that is less than the capacity of the gripping fixture. If this load is achieved, the crosshead will stop and the test will abort.
