cP (Viscosity) and SS (Shear Stress) values will be displayed as "- - - -" when the % (Torque) is
below zero.
Figure 18 is an example of the printed output of each of the above conditions.

II.7 Temperature Display
The DV-II + will display the temperature measured by its RTD temperature probe. Temperature may
be displayed in either ˚C (Centigrade) or ˚F (Fahrenheit) units depending upon the start-up
operations. If the DV-II
+ is started normally, the default temperature display will be in ˚C
(Centigrade) units as shown in the Figure 19:
Figure 19
However, if you press and hold the SELECT DISPLAY key while turning on the DV-II + the
temperature will be displayed in ˚F (Fahrenheit).
If you turn on the DV-II + with the temperature probe disconnected, or remove the temperature probe
at any point after power-up, the display will indicate “- - - -
°
C”.
The four “dashes” indicate the absence of the probe. If you were displaying temperature in
Fahrenheit units the C would be displayed as an F.
