NOTE ASTM-defined profiles may be selected and viewed but may not be
altered. To make revisions to an ASTM-defined profile, you must first
Copy Selected Profile ... and then Save it as a User-defined profile.
1. To define the cooling profile, input desired information (Hours,
Minutes, Temperature and Tolerance) in the appropriate fields for a
single point in the temperature profile.
Adding a data point to the profile
2. Click the Add Point button to add the data to the profile.
NOTES Tolerance is the amount of temperature variation permitted for a given
temperature/time point in the cooling profile. If the temperature, as
measured by the CMRV-5000 temperature probe, varies from the tem-
perature specified in the profile by an amount greater than the tolerance
value for that data point, the data will be tagged as "Profile out of toler-
ance" in displays and printouts of profile data.
You cannot enter a tolerance value for the first profile point. Leave the
tolerance field blank for that point.
The first data point in the profile must be the highest temperature in the
profile.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 to add up to 25 data points in the cooling profile.
4. Input the desired data for Profile Name, Yield and Viscosity Test
parameters, and Calibration protocol. Then click Save to save the
new User Defined profile.
NOTE If you do not rename the profile, the default name will be the same as the
original profile with the (Copy) prefix added. You cannot use an existing
cooling profile name for a new profile!
