Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer - Manual (Page 30)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 30 Manual No. M/94-310F
Legend:
- carriage return
- status byte; returned as two hexadecimal digits (see Table 2 for complete description)
- identification string of the viscometer in use; This string may be one of the follow-
ing:
CAPLOxxx - used for the cold model (75
°
C maximum)
CAPHIxxx - used for the hot model (200
°
C maximum)
where xxx is the firmware version number multiplied by 100 (i.e. for firmware
version 1.15, xxx would be 115).
- speed input (hexadecimal); all speeds are three characters padded with leading ze-
roes.
- temperature sent to or from the CAP 2000(hexadecimal); temperature values sent to
the CAP 2000 must be multiplied by 10 before transmission; temperature values
received from the CAP 2000 must be divided by 10; all temperature inputs are three
characters padded with leading zeroes.
- % torque values returned from the CAP 2000 (hexadecimal); % torque values
received from the CAP 2000 must be divided by 100; all torque values are four char-
acters padded with leading zeroes.
- viscosity sent to or from the CAP 2000 (hexadecimal); viscosity values sent to the
CAP 2000 must be multiplied by 100 before transmission; viscosity values received
from the CAP 2000 must be divided by 100; all viscosity values are six characters
padded with leading zeroes.
- shear rate values sent from the CAP 2000 (hexadecimal); shear rate values are
multiplied by 100 before transmission; all shear rate values are six characters padded
with leading zeroes.
- cone number (hexadecimal); all cone numbers are two characters padded with lead-
ing zeroes.
- shear rate constant of a cone to be calibrated (hexadecimal); shear rate constants
must be multiplied by 10000 before being sent to the CAP 2000; all shear rate con-
stant values are six characters padded with leading zeroes.
- cone multiplier constant (hexadecimal); all cone multiplier constant values are six
characters padded with leading zeroes.
