The next digit can now be changed. In order to insert “9” in place of “0”, press the

key

once:

Input of Values:
Val.[1/s]: 0290.00
Nr. of MP: 010
Time[s]: 0100

Note: If you press and hold one of the

keys while entering numbers, the digit will ﬁ rst

increment or decrement by +/- 1. However, after a short period of time, the process will
continue automatically. This corresponds to the Repeat Function of computer keyboards.

In the example above, the

key was pressed and held until the “9” was displayed. The

repeat function is only active during numerical and alphanumeric input.

When the desired number is displayed, accept it by pressing the OK key: the cursor now moves

to the ﬁ rst digit of the next ﬁ eld to be entered.

Alphanumeric inputs

Some ﬁ elds allow for both numbers and letters. These are entered the same way as previously
discussed for numeric ﬁ elds. The available entries are: 0 through 9, A through Z, and the blank

symbol “ ”. If you wish to change the letter “B” to the number “7”, press and hold the

key until the “7” appears in the display.

Alphanumeric input is available when assigning a name to a user deﬁ ned program, or an ID to a
user deﬁ ned test measurement.

VI.5 Menu Entries (MAIN Menu)

Menu entries (see Section VI.2) either lead to submenus (e.g. “Utilities” or “Conﬁ guration”), or
they start one of the rheometer’s functions directly.

All gray ﬁ elds in the tree chart in Section VI.2 that have no further right branches start functions.
Those with right branches are submenus.

Recall the keypad layout from Section VI.2. By pressing the

and

keys, the cursor (black

rectangle) moves up and down. The

key starts a function. If a submenu is assigned to the

entry it will open, otherwise the function of the rheometer is started. The functions of the R/S+
Rheometer are described in detail in this section.
