• Turn the RST Rheometer off with the mains switch on the back of the rheometer.
• Insert the printer connecting cable into the USB socket on the back panel of the RST Rheometer.
• Turn the RST Rheometer on again.
A standard USB printer connecting cable can be used to connect the printer. The cable is normally
delivered with the printer.
The printout of measuring results can only be guaranteed for the printer mentioned above. If you use other
printers or need extensive prints (e.g. graphic) or color print you should use the Rheo3000 software.
II.7 Computer Connection
If the RST Rheometer is to be operated in REMOTE mode with PC support (Rheo3000 program
package), connect the two devices using a data transmission line delivered by Brookfield with the USB
conncetion 2.0 or with the “RS232” socket on the back panel of the RST Rheometer:
• Turn the RST Rheometer off using the mains switch on the back of the instrument.
