Guidance

Catalog: Searches strain gages for PCA stress test.

Bonding: Describes the method of strain gage bonding on the PCB.

Monitor

Y-time Graphs:

  • X axis is time (s).
  • Y axis is strain (Uniaxial-gage, principal, diagonal)

Strain-rate Graphs: X axis is strain-rate, Y axis is maximum principal strain.
* Strain rate is the rate of change in strain per time.

Y Axis Range:

  • Auto-scale
  • Settable scale (×10-6 strain)
  • 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, and 20000
