The display will switch between that of Figures 27 and 28 for each press of either the UP or
DOWN arrow key. Pressing any key except the UP or DOWN arrow keys or PRINT key will
cause the viscometer to exit the Timed Stop mode and resume normal operation.
Note:
1. The user can press the PRINT key while in either of these two screens (Figures 27 and 28)

interval in EEPROM so that it will become the default the next time the user elects to use
this method.
