Brookfield DV-II+ Digital Viscometer - Manual (Page 10)

II.4 Display Selection
Viscometric data (%, cP, SS, SR) is displayed on the left side of the top line. You may “step” through
the four display options by pressing the SELECT DISPLAY key. For example, if the DV-II
+ were
currently displaying % (Torque) as shown in Figure 10:
Figure 10
The first press of the SELECT DISPLAY key would display viscosity in cP (or mPa.s), see Figure
11:
Figure 11
The next press of the SELECT DISPLAY key would display SS (Shear Stress) in Dynes/Cm2 (or
Newtons/m
2 ).
Figure 12
The next press of the SELECT DISPLAY key would display SR (Shear Rate) in 1/Sec.
Figure 13
One more press of the SELECT DISPLAY key would result in a re-display of the % (Torque)
screen, as shown in Figure 10.
Note: You may step through the display at any time. This will not interrupt any Viscometer
calculations that are in progress.
II.5 Autorange and CGS or SI Units Selection
The AUTO RANGE key allows you to determine the maximum calculated viscosity (full scale
reading) possible with the current spindle/speed setting. Pressing the key at any time will cause the
current viscosity display to change and show that maximum viscosity. The screen area formerly
displaying temperature display will now display a flashing “%100.0” to indicate this special
condition. This maximum viscosity and flashing %100.0 value will be displayed for as long as the
AUTO RANGE key is depressed. Figure 14 shows the AUTO RANGE function for the situation
where the No. 1 LV spindle is rotating at 60 rpm. The full scale range is 100.0 cP (or 100.0 mPa.s).
