Multi Point Averaging requires a definition of 1) Data Interval, the frequency of data collection

and 2) Averaging Duration, the amount of time for which readings will be averaged. These two

parameters will work in conjunction to generate multiple data points each of which represent

the average of all data measured during the average duration within the specified Data Interval.

Post Test Averaging of data occurs after the test is complete, through the Results screen. Averages

and standard deviation values can be generated for data collected in a single step or across several

steps. If the test used to collect data utilized Live Averaging (described above), then the Post Test

Averaging will produce an average value of averaged data points.

Post Test Averaging can be specified in the Report section of Configure Viscosity Test (see Section

III.9). When configured as part of the test, the average values will be displayed immediately

upon test conclusion. If not specified in Report, Post Test Averaging can be selected from the

Down Arrow in the Results screen (see Section III.11).

Post Test Averaging offers two options: Step Averaging and Test Averaging (see Figure III-20).
