VI DATA EXPORT ANALYSIS
The VISCPRO ® VI Data Export Analysis provides a convenient
operator interface for configuring Viscosity Index (VI) sample informa-
tion from the sample database for serial output and exporting it in ASCII
text format. The port output filters (Date, Sample and
Port Output
Format ) permit the user permit the user to select and output desired data
to a file, LPT port or serial port in whatever format is desired.
NOTE Once the port output analysis has been generated, it cannot be
reconfigured like other VISCPRO
® analyses. This prevents duplicate
data from being resent to network collection systems your lab may have
in place. To re-send data to the serial port, close the analysis window
(you may save the configured analysis if you desire) and then recreate
the analysis .
Available data for analysis In addition to the serial transmission, the analysis displays requested
sample data on the computer screen in a tabular format and may include
the following data:
Smpl ID —Sample ID for sample pair
VI —Viscosity Index for sample pair
KV40C —Kinematic viscosity at 40°C for low-temperature sample
KV100C —Kinematic viscosity at 100°C for high-temperature sample
KV100F —Kinematic viscosity at 100°F for low-temperature sample
KV210F —Kinematic viscosity at 210°F for high-temperature sample
Avg KV 1/Avg KV 2 —Average measured kinematic viscosity (KV)
for the low/high temperature sample
Date 1/Date 2 —Date when the test was completed for the low/high
temperature sample
Time 1/Time 2 —Time when the test was completed for the low/
high temperature sample
Tube 1/Tube 2 —Tube serial number (S/N) for the low/high tem-
perature sample
Bulb 1/Bulb 2 —Bulb number (the bulb in which the sample was
run—#1 is the bottom bulb) for the low/high temperature sample
SUS 100F/SUS 210F —Kinematic viscosity expressed in Saybolt
Universal Seconds (SUS) for the low/high temperature sample
TempC 1/TempC 2 —Bath temperature
TempF 1/TempF 2 —Bath temperature
Instr 1/Instr 2 —Instrument ID (from general configuration settings)
for the low/high temperature sample
InstrType 1/InstrType 2 —Instrument Type (from general configu-
ration settings) for the low/high temperature sample
