Peak Response Error (dB) Displays the maximum error between the specification and the predicted or measured SRS in decibels.

Output Voltages (Peak) Displays the peak voltages that will be played to the shaker amplifiers for each drive channel.

Test Level Sets the current test level in dB. 0 dB is the actual test level from the specification. Negative values reduce the shock level; positive values increase it.
Target Hits at Level The number of hits desired at the current test level. If Automatic Hits is used, the measurement will stop after the target number of hits is reached.
Current Hits at Level Displays the current number of hits that have been performed at the current test level.
Current Total Hits Displays the total number of hits performed at any test level.
Progress Bar When automatic impacts are performed, it displays the progress towards the target number of hits at this level.
Manual Hits If selected, the controller will play one shock each time the Start Environment button is pressed.
Automatic Hits If selected, the controller will continue to hit the test article until the Target Hits at Level is reached.

Start Environment Starts the environment controlling to the specification. Will perform a single hit in manual mode or several hits up to the target hits at level in automatic mode.
Stop Environment Stops the environment prematurely when operating in automatic hit mode.
Save Current Control Data Saves the control data, including specified and measured SRS, to a NumPy, Matlab, or NetCDF4 file.
