Collect Single Point at Step End. During the test, the total time required to
reach 200 cP is 10 minutes 40 seconds. Total points collected will be 11
with the last data point taken at 10 minutes 40 seconds, an average of the
last 20 seconds of the step.

arrow within the parameter field. Six End Conditions are available: Time, # of Points, # of
Revolutions, Torque, Viscosity, Temperature (see Figure III-5).
