Les courants de mesure doivent être réglés par valeurs progressivement croissantes ou décroissantes et appliqués, pour chaque valeur, pendant un temps suffisant pour obtenir les conditions de stabilité thermique qui correspondent à une vitesse de rotation du rotor constante. 1, record 1, French, - essai%20de%20d%C3%A9marrage

[...] le phénomène d’amorçage négatif [...] correspond au fait qu'un élément distracteur survenant lors d’un essai engendre une réponse plus lente s’il devient lui-même la cible lors de l'essai suivant. L'interprétation classique serait que l'élément distracteur a été inhibé lors du premier essai [...] ce qui retarde la réponse quand il devient lui-même cible. 2, record 2, French, - amor%C3%A7age%20n%C3%A9gatif
