Pressing the MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE key again immediately starts the DV-II+Pro running

at the last scrolled-to-speed. If you had been running at 12 RPM, pressed MOTOR ON/OFF/

ESCAPE and then re-started the DV-II+Pro by pressing MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE once again,

you would again be running at 12 RPM. However, if while the motor was off you had scrolled

to a new speed of 0.5 RPM, pressing the MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE key would start the DV-

II+Pro running at 0.5 RPM.

Note:

During both spindle or speed selection and scrolling operations,

the DV-II+Pro will continue to calculate and display Viscometer

data as selected.
