3. At this point, the user need only press the MOTOR ON/OFF key to begin the timed stop
operation. Any other key will abort the process and the user will have to begin again by
simultaneously pressing the
SET SPEED and SELECT SPINDLE keys.
4. We will assume that the user pressed the MOTOR ON/OFF key to ON and is now presented
with the following screen for the duration of the timed run:
cP 123456789
MIN: 15 SEC:13
Figure II-19
NOTE: When this mode has begun, a press of the MOTOR ON/OFF key will interrupt
the Timed Stop sequence and return the user to normal operation.
The seconds display will decrement from 59 to zero (0) in one (1) second intervals. When
seconds reaches zero (0), the minutes value will decrement by one (1) minute. This will
continue until all of the time has elapsed at which point the viscometer will display the
following screen:
cP 123456789
TIMED STOP DONE
Figure II-20
At this point, the viscometer will stop the motor and continue to display this screen until
the user presses the
UP or DOWN ARROW keys to view the Torque and Speed that were
current at the Timed Stop completion. This display would appear as follows:
%=76.4 RPM=100
TIMED STOP DONE
Figure II-21
The display will switch between that of Figures II-20 and II-21 for each press of either the
UP or DOWN ARROW key. Pressing any key except the UP or DOWN ARROW keys will cause
the viscometer to exit the Timed Stop mode and resume normal operation.
NOTE: For the Timed Stop method, the DV-I+ Viscometer will retain the last value for the
time interval in EEPROM so that it will become the default the next time the user
elects to use this method.
II.9.3 Time to Torque
1. After pressing the DOWN ARROW key when in the display of Figure II-15, the user is
presented with the following screen:
