One more press of the SELECT DISPLAY key would result in a return to the viscosity screen, as shown
in Figure 11.
Notes: 1. You may step through the display at any time. This will not interrupt any
Viscometer calculations that are in progress.
2. Display of shear rate and shear stress requires selection of appropriate
spindles. Otherwise, values displayed will be zero (0).
Units of Measurement
The DV-II+ Viscometer can be configured using the SETUP option (Section III.2.2) to display/
print in either the CGS or SI system of units.

AUTO
RANGE
ENTER Autorange
The ENTER/AUTO RANGE key functions as auto range and allows you to determine the maximum
calculated viscosity (full scale reading) possible with the current spindle/speed setting only when in
the default screen. Pressing the key at any time will cause the current viscosity display to change and
show that maximum viscosity. The screen area displaying % (torque) 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
ENTER/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).

Figure 14
Notes: 1. If the RPM is 0.0, the maximum viscosity displayed will be 0.0 cP (or 0.0
mPa.s).
2. While the Viscometer is in the Auto Range mode, any data sent to an
attached printer or computer reflects the displayed values (i.e. Auto Range
values).
3. This function is only available when in the default screen.
