windows, click Window from the VISCPRO ® primary display and select the
desired instrument view. Restoring a saved window configuration does not
affect current CMRV sample testing operations.
CMRV module menu options
In addition to the VISCPRO ® menu functions, unique software applica-
tion modules for each type of CANNON ® instrument generate additional
interface options. The modules determine the characteristics, function
and appearance of VISCPRO
® software menus and windows. The CMRV
software module generates menu choices from the VISCPRO ® primary
display. These menu choices (under the Configure and Service head-
ings) access important CMRV configuration and operation options.
Configure options
The Configure menu provides the user with a powerful tool for descrip-
tion of CMRV instrument capabilities, and for customizing CMRV test
procedures. Once configuration settings have been determined for
optimum performance, the settings can be saved and restored using the
Main menu Save Instrument and View Instrument functions.
Configuration settings will need to be updated when instrument specifi-
cations or components change (temperature probes, calibration).
Each of the configuration menus is explained in detail in the following
sections. To access the configuration options, click
Configure from the
VISCPRO ® primary display and select the desired instrument.
Print Instrument and Tray Settings
The Print Instrument and Tray Settings option prints instrument and
tray settings. When you select this option, a standard Print window is
opened. Select the desired print settings and click OK to print out a hard
copy of the instrument settings, including Instrument and Configuration
ID, Model, Serial Number, Firmware Version, Temperature Probe Cali-
bration Data, and Cell Constants at all calibration temperatures. You may
wish to retain the printout for diagnostics, verification and record-
keeping purposes.
Instrument Settings
Select Instrument Settings to open the Instrument Settings window,
which provides features for describing the CMRV and controlling the
instrument. These settings apply to the instrument as a whole.
Use the ID field to input instrument identification information using up to
30 alphanumeric characters.
All other Instrument Settings (Serial Number, Firmware Version, and
Port Setting) are non-editable and derived by VISCPRO
® queries to the
MRV microprocessor.
