This
program provides customer specified waveform loading to drive any
servo-hydraulic test rig with a BNC connector for external demand.
The demand waveform is a combination of a low frequency, high amplitude
trapezoidal waveform and a high frequency, low amplitude sinusoidal
waveform. The user defines the trapezoid with two load levels, and
the times of each turning point. The sinusoid is set at the high
mean load, the amplitude, frequency, and number of cycles are decided
by the user.
While the test is in progress, the
control channel is measured and displayed at all times. For each
turning point, the corresponding peak or trough will be determined
and the demand signal will be modified to achieve load levels. The
frequency range of sinewave could be up to 100 Hz. The test will
be stopped after a certain number of blocks is achieved or the specimen
failed.
