Displacement of zero - tick, perform this step, the displacement value of zero will now
Shutdown conditions - tick, perform this step, start the stop condition detection.
Test direction - Stretch: action area is in the drawing area.
Compression: Motion area is in the compressed region
Speed Mode－Set the pace: speed mode mobile number per minute crosshead displacement。
Given stress: speed mode is the number per minute stress of moving crosshead。
Testing Seed－According to the selected speed mode enter a custom test speed。
Test Condition－
Force: The machine will control the strength of the specimen reaches the set
Displacement: machine will control the displacement of the specimen reaches the set.
Relative Force（＋）：To the current force, coupled with the power to set the value of
Relative displacement（＋）：To the current displacement, coupled with the set-bit
migration.
Damage: to set the direction, directly to do damage (based on the power limit.)
Bigger than the force: the power of control over the power to set, if the power is already
greater than the set value, it will skip this step。
Less than the force: the power of the power control to set the following, if the power is
already less than the set value, will skip this step。
Bigger than the displacement: the displacement control to set the displacement of more
than if we had set the value of the displacement, will skip this step。
Less than the displacement: the displacement of the displacement control to set the
following, if we have less than the set value of the displacement, will skip this step。
Yield strength: according to given stress action, check whether the power to reach the
yield difference。
Relative power (-): The Power of Now, and then lose the power to set the value

Test value - input according to the selected test conditions the custom test value.
