The General Parameters section includes all Viscosity Test program controls that will apply to
every step of the program.
Spindle: The spindle to be used with this Viscosity
Test. All calculations will be based on this
spindle number.
Report Screen: Select the view to be presented upon the
conclusion of the Viscosity Test.
Save Results Path: Select if a path for saving data is to be defined.
Define the save path.
Post Test Averaging: Select the type of averaging to perform at the
end of the test.
Instructions: Document the instructions to present to the
operator when the test is run.
The Test Parameters section includes all Viscosity Test program controls that may vary if there
is more than one test step.
Speed: Speed of rotation of the spindle.
Data Collection: Data Collection method.
Time Interval: Time interval used for Data Collection methods
that include averaging.
Density: Density value to be used if kinematic viscosity
units are selected (cSt, mm2/s).
End Condition: Condition which sets the end of the Viscosity
Test.
End Condition Value: Parameter based on chosen End Condition.
QC Limits: Parameter to be used for QC limit indicators.
QC High / QC Low Limit Parameter based on the chosen QC Limits.
Collect Single Point at Step End: During a Multi Point data collection, force the
DV2T to collect a data point at the end of the
step (when the End Condition is achieved).
Include This Step into Average Calculation: Data from this step will be included in the
average calculation indicated by the selection
in Post Test Averaging.

The Program Grid shows all Test Parameters for each step in a line view.
All measurement units can be set through the Units Setup button (see Figure VI-2). This menu
can be pinned to the screen. If the menu is not pinned, then it will minimize when the mouse is
moved outside of the window.
