IV.4 Downloading a B.E.V.I.S. Program
Before down loading a B.E.V.I.S. program to the viscometer, ensure the following have been
checked:
•
The appropriate cable (BEL Part# DVP-80) is connected between the selected COM port of
the PC and the viscometer.
•
The DV-II+ motor must be OFF.
•
Set PC PROG to “OFF.”
•
The Programmable DV-II+ is at the down load screen: OPTIONS|DOWNLOAD A
PROG|LOAD TO SLOT#x where x is slot 1,2,3, or 4. See Section III.6.
With the LOAD TO SLOT#x screen displayed, choose a storage slot using the DV-II+
arrow keys then press the ENTER/AUTO RANGE key on the viscometer. If after 5
seconds, the viscometer cannot communicate with the DVLoader program, the B.E.V.I.S.
ERROR NO PC ATTACHED message is displayed and a beeping sound is heard. If a
connection is established, the Down Load button on the PC software becomes enabled , and
the DV-II+ screen displays DOWNLOAD PROG TO STORAGE SLOT #1. Click on
this button to down load the displayed program to the DV-II+. When the down load is
complete, the DV-II+ displays DOWNLOAD DONE TO EXIT PRESS A KEY.

Click on this button to exit the DVLOADER software.
Note:
This is an important final step because it allows the RS232 port to be used for
output from the DV-II+ to a serial printer or PC.
