S TORqUE LESS THAN 0%
When Rheometer torque drops below zero (0) percent, the Rheometer will continue to display
torque values preceded by a minus (-) sign. The viscosity and shear stress field will display dashes
(- - - - ) as indicated in Figure II-6:

The user can elect to change the spindle selection by pressing the SELECT SPDL key. The DV-III
Ultra control program will use the previously blank line 3 on the default display screen to record
the new spindle input as depicted in Figure II-7.

To enter a spindle number, press the numeric keys until the desired spindle number has been entered.
Valid spindle numbers encompass the range from 00 to 99 as listed in Appendix D. Mistakes are
corrected by repeatedly pressing the numeric keys until the proper spindle value has been entered.
At that point, the user presses the SELECT SPDL key again. An invalid spindle entry will result in a
“beep” and the display of the data entry error screen as shown in Figure II-8.
INVALID DATA ENTRY
" BAD SPINDLE"
** RE-ENTER **
Figure II-8
An invalid spindle entry is any two digit number in the range from 01 to 99 which is not listed in
Appendix D. This error message will be displayed for a few seconds after which the spindle entry
screen (see Figure II-7) will be re-displayed with a blank field for the spindle number. The user
can cancel spindle entry at any time by pressing the MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE key.
To enter a new spindle into memory, use the following procedures.
Press and Hold the motor on/off and “9” key on power up. The screen in Figure II-9 appears.
