Measurements can be taken with the memory full but the results will only be shown at the
LCD and will be lost after completion of the measurement. If you try to send results to a
printer and it is not connected or has no paper in it, an error message will be displayed until
the printer is connected and operational or until you stop the activity.
When you start the measurement, the instrument shows:

This message will be displayed until the first measuring point is displayed.

If the torque is less than 30‰, the results may not have the desired accuracy or repeatability.
The user should consider changing the user defined test parameters to get a torque higher
than 30‰.
If the display field for the torque indicates: “Mlow!”, these values are below the range of
resolution of the rheometer.
If the temperature is not to displayed, the measuring sensor is not connected and the printout
of the temperature will be printed as “---”.
The display is updated with every new measuring point. The current measurement can be
cancelled at any time with the
ST
key.
After measurement, or after a stop, the display field for step indicates “END” or “BREAK”.
The LCD alternates at intervals of about four seconds between the last displayed measuring
point and information on the measurement:
