To review status of other online instruments, click the tube tab corre-
sponding to the desired instrument (see next section).
If necessary, wipe any excess oil from the base of the miniAV-X, sample
vial and vial holder using an absorbent paper towel. If necessary, clean
these components before reuse by wiping with a paper towel wetted with
appropriate solvent.
Working with Instrument Groups
VISCPRO II provides a convenient interface for working with multiple
CANNON instruments simultaneously. Rather than requiring the user to
open individual Instrument Views for each online instrument, the
Sample Input window (formerly the Instrument View window in
VISCPRO) provides individual tabs for each viscometer tube, making it
easy to enter sample information for up to four different instruments. The
Machine Status window makes it possible to monitor the performance
of all instruments in an Instrument Group simultaneously.
Here’s how it works: Just click Main/View Instrument from the
VISCPRO II interface to open the View Instrument Group window,
which displays all CANNON instrument types communicating with your
computer. Then select the desired instrument group (all instruments in a
single group communicate with the computer via the same COM port).
Once you have opened the desired instrument group, the Sample Input
window will appear. Individual TABBED PAGES now make it possible
to enter sample information for any viscometer in the instrument group.
