I.2.6 Computer System
The computer system and the Rheo3000 software are optional and allow for the graphic representation of
measuring results in real time, report print-out, analysis of existing measured data and the automation of
measuring procedures. Several RST Rheometers can be controlled through several thermostats from
different manufacturers.
The computer system consists of a PC with the following minimum system requirements:
• CPU with at least 1.5 GHz clock frequency
• 1 GB RAM (primary storage)
• 2.5 GB free fixed-disk capacity
• operating system Microsoft (32bit or 64bit) Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8
• mouse and keyboard
• VGA graphic adapter with 1024 x 768 resolution and monitor
• 2 USB ports for rheometer and temperature accessory control
• application software package Rheo3000
The application software for the RST Rheometer (Rheo3000 software package) is available separately
and not absolutely necessary for the operation of the measuring instrument. In the following cases,
however, it is highly recommended:
• extensive rheological analyses
• graphic evaluation
• evaluation using mathematical models
• automated measurements
• specific requirements (e.g. FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11)
• research and development
• continuous use
