Brookfield DV-II+ Programmable Viscometer - Manual (Page 25)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 25 Manual No. M/97-164-F1 102
Step 2 is repeated indefinitely until the viscometer is shut off or the user selects a different number
of readings to average. The number of readings to be averaged will include zero (0) as an average
so that this option may effectively be turned off without turning the viscometer off.
Notes: 1. The data averaging will only be applied to the data displayed by the
viscometer. No data averaging will be applied to the torque analog
output signal.
2. When data averaging is other than zero (0) or one (1), a flashing A will
be displayed to the left of the % Torque sign as shown below.

You must press the ENTER/AUTORANGE key to select the flashing option.
III.3 Time Modes
The Time Modes are provided to allow more flexibility by unattended operating of the viscometer
during data gathering. The last selected option (i.e. Time to Torque or Time to Stop) will be
highlighted when scrolling to this option as shown in Figure 35:
L SETUP
TIME TO TORQUE
Figure 35
A press of the OPTIONS/TAB key will “toggle” between the two available timed modes as shown in
Figure 36:

TIME TO STOP
Figure 36
To enter the time for either of these options, press the ENTER/AUTORANGE key while the selected
option is blinking. Let’s start with Time To Stop.
Note: These two modes are immediately executed when input is complete.
They do not return to the default screen until running is complete. They
can be stopped at any time by a press of the MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE
key.
