Torque:

A live signal from the viscometer.

Spindle:

The currently selected spindle. All viscosity, shear

rate, and shear stress calculations will be made based

on this spindle. The spindle number may be changed

by pressing the blue arrow.

Speed:

The currently selected speed of rotation. The

viscometer will operate at this speed once the RUN

command key is pressed. The speed may be changed

by pressing the blue arrow.

Temperature:

A live signal from the viscometer when a temperature

probe is attached (Brookfield part number DVP-94Y

or SC4-61Y).

End Condition:

Specify the condition that will end the test.

Data Collection: Specify the amount of data to be collected during

the test.

Instructions:

Create a message that the user will see when the

test begins.

Reports:

Define how the data will be viewed when the test is

complete.

QC Limits:

Define the limits for acceptable measurement data.

Density:

Define the density of the test sample. This information

will be used when kinematic viscosity units are

selected for display (see Section IV.3).

II.5.2 Load Test

Test programs that are created (Configure Viscosity Test) can be saved to the internal

memory of the DV2T or to a USB Flash Drive. These files can be reloaded into the DV2T

for immediate use through the Load Test function. A file that is placed onto a USB Flash

Drive can be loaded onto any DV2T Viscometer.
Within the Load Test function, the user can access the internal memory of the viscometer

or any USB Flash Drive that is connected to a USB port

. The viscometer will point to

the USB Flash Drive according to the order in which it is connected. The first USB Flash

Drive that is connected will be referred to as #1 on both the Load Test screens and the

Status Bar (see Section II.3). You can have as many as three USB Flash Drives connected

to the DV2T at any time.
Test files that are displayed on the screen can be sorted by date of creation or by alpha/
numeric.

This sorting is selected by pressing the Navigation Icon

TIP: You can use the Manage Files function

to move Test files from internal memory

to a USB Flash Drive.
