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

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.
