The combined test runs a creep test, then immediately transitions into an SRL test followed by dynamic loading.  The sample thickness is updated between tests so that for example, the SRL test increments 10% of the creep test compressed thickness.  On saving the data, Ey, and G* modului are calculated and placed into the CSV data file.

===== Parameters =====
See parameters for [[pages:mechanicaltester:help:creep|creep]], [[pages:mechanicaltester:help:srl| SRL]], and [[pages:mechanicaltester:help:dynamic|dynamic]] tests.

===== Known Issues =====

In transitioning between tests, erratic jumps occasionally occur, the cause of which has yet to be determined, but it may relate to what motor direction a given test initializes to.
