Appendix D - Spindle and Model Codes
Each spindle has a two digit code which is scrolled to via the keypad on the DV-I+. The spindle code
directs the DV-I+ to calculate viscosity for the spindle that is being used. The spindle multiplyer
constant (SMC) is used to calculate full scale viscosity range for any spindle/speed combination (refer
to Appendix E). Spindle codes are listed in Table D-1.

Table D-1
Note: Spindle codes 66, 67 and 74 are not in the firmware for the DV-I+ Spindle Table D-1. Manual
calculations are required to convert torque readings to shear stress and viscosity values.
