Brookfield DV3T Rheometer - Manual (Page 37)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 37 Manual No. M13-2100
Instructions: Record specific instructions to the operator. This information will be presented
immediately when the program is Run (see Figure III-13). The operator is required
to acknowledge the message before the program will continue.
Figure III-13
TIP: If the operator selects “Do not show this message again” within the
Instructions message box, then Instructions will no longer be displayed for
any test. This condition can be reset to allow Instructions to be displayed
in the Display section of User Settings
.
TIP: Instructions can be viewed during the test by selecting instructions (more/
less bar) in the View Test screen.
Reports: Define how data will be presented at the conclusion of the test and specify the path for
saving data files. Upon the conclusion of a test, the user can be presented with either: a
Graph, Table, Math Model, or an Average of collected data points. Once in the Results
section, the down arrow
can be used to change the view.
Post Test Averaging can be specified as either Test Averaging or Step Averaging. Test
Averaging allows you to select which step from the program (created with PG Flash) is
to be averaged and displayed. Step Averaging is used when there is a single test step.
See Section III.10 for more detail relating to Data Averaging.
The data path for saving data can be preselected as part of the test report.
TIP: Selecting a data path can help to organize data storage in the internal
memory of DV3T. By preselecting the data path, operators are directed
to put data from specific tests into specific areas.
TIP: If you select a data path that includes a USB Flash Drive location and the
USB Flash Drive has been removed, an error message will be displayed.
Density: Input a density value for the sample to be tested. This value will be used to calculate
viscosity when kinematic viscosity units have been chosen for display (see Section
V.4.2).
