at Step End. During the test, the total time required to reach 200 cP is 65 seconds.
Total points collected will be 7 with the last data point taken at 65 seconds, an
average of the 5 seconds after point #6.
Example 8: End Condition is set to Viscosity = 200 cP, Multi Point Data Interval is 1 minute.
Averaging Duration is 20 seconds. Check the check box to Also 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.
No Data: End Condition is met and no data is collected.
III.8 End Condition
The completion of a test is defined by the End Condition. Each time that you enter Configure
Viscosity Test, the End Condition will be set to the last value used. The End Condition parameter
or values can be changed by pressing the End Condition button.
Within the End Condition screen, the currently selected End Condition parameter and values are
displayed. The End Condition can be changed by pressing the blue down arrow within the parameter
field. Six End Conditions are available: Time, # of Points, # of Revolutions, Torque, Viscosity,
Temperature (see Figure III-10).
Figure III-10
Time: The test will complete when the specified amount of time has elapsed. Time is entered
in Hours, Minutes, and Seconds.
Hours: 0-99
Minutes: 0-59
Seconds: 0-59
A time of zero hours, minutes and seconds may be selected. With this End Condition,
the DV3T will operate at the selected speed until the operator selects Stop Test. Data
will be collected according to the Data Collection setting (see Section III.7).
