Chapter 3 Test Program
Test program is a very important concept in this software. POPWARE_PI_E_NMis based on the test program. Each test has a test program. The whole software,
including the data processing and the output of the reports forms are running based
on the test program. The control parameters, data-processing styles, the content and
the format outputted by the reports forms are defined in the test program. Differentspecimen, test and standard can be reached by setting the test program. Run the
NMEDesign.exe at the directory, you can start the test design program. And you can
also start it in the Tools (T).

Attention The contents in the result items are decided by the software need, so the
users cannot modify it at will, but to the fixed items users can set. We
suggest users to add the items needed in the report, which is limited to
25. The items, which have existed in the specimen information at the
step 2, neednt add to the fixed items, because it will be added to the
fixed items automatically.

Specimen section shape select: the specimen shape you want to test.The mode of Measuring Torsional Angle:
Rotation Angle: the rotation angle of the horizon beam rotation replaces the
specimen rotation.
Torsional Gauge:
Use the Twist Counter to measure the specimen Torsion Angle. If you choose it,
you should set the take down twist counters value. The program will turn out the hint
you can take down the extensometer automatically when the torsional Gauges value
exceeds this fixed value. And we can replace the Torsional Angle by the rotation angle
increment after this.
Sample Time frequency
Sample time interval set the diagrams record frequency.
Specimen information format
The specimen information can be dived into basic information, which is the fixed
items in specimen information interface, and the added information, which is the
definition information.
The basic information is necessary in the program while the added information,
which is only useful in the data reserve and the report output, is not essential in
the program
The specimen information interface is below as fig6.The items can be defined in the definition items and they will be added to the fixed

4.3 note
1. There can be 20 steps at most.
2. The negative value parameter in the control mode is meaning unloading while
the positive opposition.
3. You had better do the test before you do the multi-steps test in manual control
at first.
4. In the state of constant control, such as constant Torque control or constant
Torsional Angle control, etc, to can only select time.
5. Pay attention to the unit of over Torque mode and to.
6. Pay attention to the join of the steps.
7. Check the associated parameters carefully to make sure them.8. The cycle test is controlled by the cycle count.
9. If you want to constant control you had better use the constant speed control
to a little smaller than the constant value, and then you use the constant
control. For example you would like to keep the Torque at 100KN,you can set
the control mode to constant speed Torque control (the speed are at will, such
as 50kn/min) and to for 99kn. Afterward you can set the control mode to
constant Torque control for 100kn,
10. If the to is Torque, Torsional Angle, position, strain or stress then if the
actual value is larger than this setting value, the end condition is to be smallerthan this setting and the loading the similar method to the end condition.
Take the to value is 2kn for example; it can be divided into two
circumstances.
One is the actual Torque value is smaller than 2kn at the beginning of this step;
we can suppose the actual Torque is 0.5kn. If it is loading in this step, then
the Torque value is becoming larger and larger when the Torque is large than
2kn,it is for the condition and can go to the next step. If it is unloading in this
step, then the Torque value is becoming smaller and smaller, it cannot be for
the condition going to the next step and means the program is wrong.
Another is the actual Torque value is lager than 2kn at the beginning of
-
7/27/2019 Handbook of Popware Pi e Nm
22/34
this step; we can discuss it as same as the front method.
11. If the to is relative Torque, relative Torsional Angle or relative rotation angle
that is a variety, not the absolute value, so it only focuses on the change from
the beginning to the end.

must be used by skilled worker.
8.1 the initial files
The initial files save the most important information in the machine
(1). Torque channel, rotation angle channel, twists angle channel and so on
(2). The controls relative information signals such as ampliation, zero
(3). Torque channel, rotation angle channel, and Torsional Angle channels s
calibration
(4). Control parameters, machine parameters, and the settings in the softwareNothing else can affect the machines precision and capability if the initial files
are not changed. No man should open and modify the initial files as the machine may
be out of control, the software cannot be loaded and even the computer maybe die if
any little error change is done in them.
1.the initial file with the suffix name as .ini, must be saved at the work directory.
2.the default initial files such as init.ini and Moreinit.ini are always called in the
softwares start-up, so they must be existed. All the sensors parameters are saved in
morinit.ini for the multiplied users. The thing you just do is to change the relative
sensor settings in the software when you have changed the sensor.
3.the CD has no initial machine files in it, so you should install the initial files after
you have set the program in the CD.
4.you should copy the initial files for protection in order to get back the system if the
computer or the equipment goes wrong. You have to adjust the capability and do
the calibration again when you dont put it on record or the stock-up disk is ruined.
8.2 the calibration steps
1.You should copy file in the work directory with the suffix name as . ini to floppy
disk for record in case of the accident troubles.2.you can enter the equipment calibration state after you have clicked the login. The

3.the Torque calibration
Method: you should set the target calibration sensors firstly in the software (only for
the multiplied Torque sensors users, but the single Torque sensor user
shouldnt go along this process). You can see it in the sensor selected inthe system.
(1): grade 1
(2): grade 2
You should choose the grade first and then go on the calibration for points (we can
choose 20kn, 40kn, 60kn, 80kn, 100kn if this grades maximum Torque is 100kn). You
neednt to adjust them if the error is in the bound. Choose a point (suggest to the
middle point in this grade) and record the Torques value showed in the softwares
Torque interface when the standard Torque has been arrived by the measure Torque
loop. Click the button of calibration in the system menu and you can see the interface
below.
Fig16 calibration interface
(1). Choose the channel such as Torque channel
(2). Choose the grade
(3). Input the standard value and the display value. The standard value means the
measure Torque loops value. The display value means the Torques value
showed in the softwares Torque interface when the standard Torque has been
arrived by the measure Torque loop
(4). Click the button of ok and the calibration ends. We can check up each points
calibration if its error is smaller than 1%.
AttentionA: you should adjust the Torque to zero before the calibration begins. We should
choose the manual page to control the cylinders rotation angle speed, which
will be lower speed nearby to control the Torque when the Torque is incalibration.

B: the calibration display value can be used only once.
C: The Torque should approach this point, which is in calibration slowly.
D: we cannot do other calibrations if we havent managed the 1 grade.
E: Set the grade in order to protect the measure Torque loop when the grade
happens the over Torque.F: we should set the zero point when each grades zero point is not consistent.
4.the grade zero point
We should set the zero point when each grades zero point is not consistent.
Method: click the button of grade zero and we will see the grad zero interface below:
Fig17: grade zero interface
You should set each grades zero value to zero and then we can choose one
grade to zero value recording each grades zero point. After that you enter the
grade zero interface again to input each grades zero point clicking the button of
save to save it. You should pay attention to the value s negative and positive
property.
5.The Torsional Angle calibration: it is the same as the Torque calibration just the
measure Torque loop is changed to extensometer
6.The rotation angle calibration is similar as the Torque calibration just the grade is
not no longer existed and its zero points are neednt setting.
The multiplier sensor user is to make the senor in calibration one by one. You
should put the initial files into record in a floppy disk and make a time mark on the
floppy disk. You can restart the software based on this floppy disk.
