Tensile test machine and Extensometer -- connection problems

AI Thread Summary
The user is experiencing connectivity issues between a Tinius Olsen 602 tensile test machine and an Epsilon extensometer while conducting tensile tests on glass-fiber composites. Despite connecting the extensometer via an Ethernet cable, the software, Horizon, does not recognize it, leading to strain measurements being derived from crosshead displacement instead. Suggestions include reaching out to the technical support services of both Tinius Olsen and Epsilon for troubleshooting assistance. Proper guidance is essential for successfully integrating the extensometer into the testing process. Resolving this issue is crucial for accurate tensile testing results.

TL;DR Summary
I am using tensile test machine, Tinius Olsen 602 to conduct a tensile test for Glass-fiber composite. I am facing problem of using an extensometer from Epsilon (gage length is 25 mm).I have connected the extensometer to the tensile test machine(Tinius Olsen 602) through the ethernet cable but it is still not recognized by the software . the Software that belongs the machine is Horizon .could you please guide me towards the necessary procedures to conduct the tensile test with the extensometer.
Dear friends
i am using tensile test machine, tinius olsen 602 to conduct a tensile test for Glass-fiber composite. i am facing problem of using an extensometer from Epsilon (gage length is 25 mm). I have connected the extensometer to the tensile test machine(tinius olsen 602) through the ethernet cable but it is still not recognized by the software and the strain comes from the crosshead displacement. the Software that belongs the machine is Horizon . could you please help me out and guide me towards the necessary procedures to conduct the tensile test with the extensometer.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
