TestWare-SX Hold Command

A hold process produces a command signal that controls a servovalve or servomotor. This process should be sequenced in series with other command processes.

How it works

The hold command maintains a static level for a specified amount of time. When a hold command begins, it reads the current level of the selected control mode and maintains that level.

More Information

The Hold Command Design window names the process and sequences it in a test template.

The Hold Command Parameters window defines the control mode and hold time.
