One more press of the SELECT DISPLAY key would result in a return to the viscosity screen,
as shown in Figure II-11.
Note:
1. You may step through the display at any time. This will not interrupt
any Viscometer calculations that are in progress.
2. Display of shear rate and shear stress requires selection of appropriate
spindles. Otherwise, values displayed will be zero (0). Refer to
Appendix D.
Shear rate and shear stress values will be displayed for any spindle with a SRC value greater
than zero.
Units of Measurement
The DV-II+Pro Viscometer can be configured using the SETUP option (Section IV.2.2) to display/
print in either the CGS or SI system of units.

Autorange
The
ENTER/AUTO RANGE
key functions as Auto Range and allows you to determine the maximum
calculated viscosity (full scale reading) possible with the current spindle/speed setting only when in
the default screen. Pressing the key at any time will cause the current viscosity display to change
and show that maximum viscosity. The screen area displaying % (torque) will now display a flashing
“%100.0” to indicate this special condition. This maximum viscosity and flashing %100.0 value
will be displayed for as long as the
ENTER/AUTO RANGE
key is depressed. Figure II-14 shows the
AUTO RANGE
function for the situation where the No. 1 LV spindle is rotating at 60 rpm. The full
scale range is 100.0 cP (or 100.0 mPa

Note:
1. If the RPM is 0.0, the maximum viscosity displayed will be 0.0 cP (or 0.0 mPa

s).
2. While the Viscometer is in the Auto Range mode, any data sent to an attached
printer or computer reflects the displayed values (i.e. Auto Range values).
3. This function is only available when in the default screen.

If the motor is Off, Auto Range is not available.
