  • |thickness||
• Mount sample: top first and then move into bottom
• Button Setup experiment: Hammer button
  • "Test procedure, speeds", "End of test" most important
  • Switch from F0->F1 confusing
  • choose F0 as max force
  • Example speeds:
    • metals=0.5mm/min
    • polymers=5mm/min
  • Adopt path: "Store data to"
• all 3 tare-buttons should be pressed
• Button Traffic-Light: start experiments
• Button Diagram (one line)
  • open & close: rescale graph
