Graphics

The lower half of the graphic display is reserved for application panels and are pre-defined information panels. These panels contain specific information about the chosen application mode. Pre-defined panels are available for the following modes: manual, cyclic, simulation and static. Each of the panels display the information most important to the selected mode. For example, in cycle mode (constant amplitude cycling) the display offers continuous display of command signal, feedback signal, the following error, the phase error, and the amplitude error. At higher frequencies, the tester is usually interested in amplitude accuracy instead of following error which is very much influenced by phase lag.

In the simulation panel you can keep track of flight number and segment number, displayed against total number of flights and total number of segments for the flight.

The static mode will display all defined factors (percentage of reference load) and the current factor.

The following features are available using the unit completely stand alone:

• Manual setpoint control.
• Cyclic, constant amplitude.
• Sine, square, ramp, rounded ramp wave forms.
• Direct visual feedback of amplitude and phase error.
• Static strength testing using a pre-defined set of loads.
• Simulation of durability loads.
• Up to four channel control.
• Capability to link the channels using user defined formula’s.
• PC link functions
