# T|A – Tighten to Torque or Angle

Tools
ES STR SL ST SR QST STB IXB

This tightening step runs the tool with the given speed in the forward direction until either the target torque or the target angle is reached.

The torque measurement starts at the beginning of the step.
If the torque trigger is NOT set, the angle measurement starts at the beginning of the step.
If the torque trigger is set, the angle measurement starts when the torque trigger is reached.

The step ends when:
Measured Torque >= Target Torque (Ts)
OR
(Measured Angle - Angle Measured at Torque Trigger) >= Target Angle (As).

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Target torque (Ts) | Default value: 0. Must be > 0 and <= Tool Max Torque.
Target angle (As) | Default value: 0. Must be > 0.
Torque Trigger (Tt) | Default value: NOT set. Must be > 0 and < Target torque (Ts).
Speed (n) | Default: 60 rpm. Must be > 0 and <= Tool Max Speed.
Speed ramp type | Hard, soft, or manual. Default: Hard. If you select Manual, Speed ramp type opens automatically.
Brake (Valid only for Power Focus 6000 StepSync, Power Focus 8 StepSync, and Flex). | If On the tool will be stopped when the target is reached. If Off the program goes directly to the next step without stopping the tool.
