Displaying accuracy:
Displaying ** bit behind decimal: when choose “NIL” in the frame “Auto” under
this item, this item will work to control the displaying bit number of load and stroke
on the “display panel”.
Auto: The displaying accuracy has strict and specific stipulation in the relevant test
standards, so choose this item will identify the displaying bit number according to test
load step automatically.
Clock cycle: The amplifier will connect the computer and testing machine together as
the hinge. The computer, as the data acquisition system, should record the test
procedure real time and accurately. The sampling cycle is the test process “step
length” recorded by the computer, which it should be better if shorter theoretically.
The sampling cycle is shorter, the collected data will more during the unit time, the
curve will be more actual, but the limited store point number (65000), so this will
cause short store date time, please consider carefully and set this parameter correctly.
For static test, we suggest adopting 60ms, and the effect is excellent attested
practically.
Change step: Setting if change step and the parameter of change step delay time
(Generally 500ms or above), due to specific meaning, so no redundant statement
-5-

herewith.
Resolution and others: Setting the resolution of load and deformation (the
proportion of the corresponding measuring range, generally 1/2000 which is 5/10000
of standard request). In this item, also can set the parameter of “ stop machine if the
load is better that some certain value when ordinary operator adjusts the position”.
Reuse system parameter: When one set of computer control multi-set of testing
machines or under circumstances when the system setting should be changed (For
example, equipped with multi extensometers). After the parameters are set and
calibrated ready under various kinds of circumstances, store the system parameters.
The user can reuse these parameters according to applied testing machine and
extensometer.
Store system parameter: Store the current equipped system parameters as the form
of file. It had better use the specific name when input. The measuring range can be as
the name of the files if quipped with several extensometers. After calibrating,
generally store the calibrated parameters for future reference and restore.
Reuse software parameter: Its function is similar with that of reuse system
parameter, but the reused is software parameters equipped.
Store software parameter: Its function is similar with that of store system parameter,
but the stored is software parameters equipped.
The window displays load real time, according to chosen step to adjust automatically,
also corresponding with load in test curve. If no special statement, the unit is kN, and
the unit is N when measuring range is less than 2kN.
About zero: Before test, when no load imposed on the system, please make the load
-6-
WinWdw Software Operating Manual
Generally the software have adjusted the zero point of extensometers ready before
going out the factory, when start every time, the system will calibrate the zero point of
hardware automatically, no need for user to readjust. But if the zero point is very big
due to some reasons, the user can adjust the zero point of the system as the method
above mentioned.
Load peak display: Display the load peak (Max. Load value) during test, this value
cannot be cleared to zero, it need zero button to make zero. Click “up” and “down”
can switch to display upper and lower peak value.
According to the big and small of the measuring value to switch automatically during
the test, namely when the measuring value is bigger than 95% (parameter can be set)
of measuring range of the current scale, it will change to bigger scale automatically;
when the test start, the user can choose the Min. Scale so as to guarantee the accuracy.
2000N,1000N,400N,200N (different load cells will have various scales) buttons are
used to control load amplifier to change scale. If click 2000N button, it denotes the
measuring rang of testing machine is in full scale load cell capacity; if choose 1000N,
it denotes the measuring rang of testing machine is 1/2 of full scale; the others are
similar, namely the measuring range is 1/5 of full scale, 1/10 of full scale individually.
The software can make the load range change both automatically and manually. But
please consider below:
1. The operator is familiar with ordinary specimen.
2. Frequent changing steps will generate electric signal impact.
So the default setting is “ No automatic switch scale”. Before test, the user should
choose suitable scale according to test requirement or estimated Max. Load value.
Generally the user should choose Min. Scale, but it should large than 20% of used
value.
★ Remarks: Recommend changing load steps manually, so before test, the user
should choose the load step of testing machine correctly which can enhance
the test resolution.

Elastic modulus:
Adopt two-point valuing method: Choose two points to identify slope of proportional
line, which can get elastic modulus. Because the system will be suitable for different
materials, it is necessary to choose proportional line for the user.
Choose two points reasonably to make the measured elastic modulus accurate at the
most to guarantee the consequent “stipulated non-proportional extension strength”
correct.
Adopt the fixed elastic modulus method: For some materials, the proportional line is
curve, if adopt two-point method to acquire elastic modulus, it will be scattered,
general under this situation adopt other methods or testing equipment to require the
elastic modulus. At the moment adopt “fixed elastic modulus” method to calculate the
subsequent stipulated non-proportional stress points. This method can avoid the
default of two-point method, but it will need the user can adjacent learning to material
elastic modulus.

Amplifer Adjusting: (Only adjusting staff can adjust, forbidden for customer)
- 27 -
WinWdw Software Operating Manual
Use standard load measuring device to calibrate load, through adjusting the “adjusting
bar” of gain in the diagram 26 to make display value corresponding to the displaying
value of standard device, and press “store” to finish operation. Do this to every scale,
and calibrate repeatedly.
Adjusting PID parameter: (only executive user for this function can adjust!)
The adjusting procedure is P-I-D. First setting the parameter of I and D to zero or
mini-value, enlarge P gradually, and carefully observe the response of testing machine.
When P enlarging a certain value, the testing machine will self-excitation (it had
better avoid self-excitation, through carefully observation, the omen of self-excitation
is evident. It will destroy the machine if the self-excitation is too large or too small),
and reduce it to 2/3. Sometimes the testing machine will have evident unstable and
non-control status, this phenomenon is similar to self-excitation, this is caused by
deficient adjusting value. Enlarging P value gradually, if the phenomenon disappears,
it attests the method is correct.
- 28 -
WinWdw Software Operating Manual
After adjusting P value, please do test for some time and observe test results.
Generally the setting value and feedback have evident deviation. At the time, please
enlarge I value gradually, and observe the testing machine and the change of test
results, and generally the deviation will decrease evidently. Enlarge the I value further
up to the testing machine emerging self-excitation or instability of display, please
rapidly reduce I value to 2/3. I value will influence the test results most in the
close-loop control parameters, so please adjustment will be slow.
After adjusting I value, please adjust D value. D value has specific physical meaning,
but the change is not evident when adjusting, the principle is same with that of P and I.
But the wave shape will distort heavily, so under the circumstance of sensitive P and I
adjusting, to enlarge D value will make a better effect.
