It may be required that as part of the test, the load may suddenly drop off as the specimen fails or breaks.
In this instance an absolute load limit may not be relevant.
1) Create a Load Error Alias:

In this example I have set it to a %. However, if you give it the same calibration as the load signal Alias, you can specify absolute load drops (i.e. load drops of 5kN).
The DSP variable should point to _act_err_.
The Vector Index should be ( Actuator number - 1), in the above example this will look at the first actuator in a system.
You can then set limits on this new Alias "Load Error" as normal in the limits window.
