IV.3.4 PC Program (On/Off)

Note: This option does not apply to use with RHEOCALC software

This option causes the serial port of the DV-II+Pro viscometer to go into a high speed output

mode (approximately 3 print lines per second) for use with Brookfield WINGATHER® software

program. When ON, you may enter the Options menu but will not be allowed to make any option

selections until the PC PROG is turned OFF. All front panel keys will function normally when

you turn the option ON and return to normal viscometer operation by pressing the

MOTOR ON/

OFF/ESCAPE

key. When OFF, the DV-II+Pro will return to the last set print time interval when

printing is resumed.

Note:

WINGATHER® software can be used for data acquisition and

analysis. Rheocalc software can be used for complete external

control of DV-II+Pro and data acquisition.
