QC Limits
: Select an acceptable range for measurement results. The range may
be defined by Viscosity, Torque, Time, Temperature, or Shear Stress.
The possible range for Viscosity and Shear Stress will be defined by the
spindle and speed selected. QC Limits are a visual and audible signal to
the operator during the test. The data set does not include an indication
of QC Limits violation.
A violation of the QC Limits during the test will be indicated by a flashing yellow box around
the display for the specified parameter. Note that Time does not have a dedicated display.
A violation will also result in an audible beep and a one time warning message (see Figure
III-6). Data will continue to be collected while the warning message is displayed.
Figure III-6
When Viscosity or Torque are the selected QC Limits parameter, QC Limits will be shown
during the test on the Trend Bar if that parameter is selected for display (see Figure III-7).
The QC Limits are represented by the dashed lines.
TIP: Audible alarms may be turned off in the User Settings .
TIP: An indication of a QC Limit violation is not part of the data set. The user can record
a violation by using the Notes available when viewing test Results (see Section
III.9).
