miniPV Series analysis modules
The VISCPRO ® software is shipped with several analysis modules which
can be used to create reports based on sample test data. For general
instructions on using analyses, see Chapter 6, Analysis Configuration
Options. For information on a specific analysis module included with your
miniPV Series package, see the chapter on the particular analysis.
Configuring the VI Matcher
VI Matching with VISCPRO ® The VI Matcher is a VISCPRO ® software feature that functions in
tandem with the VI analyses to enable Viscosity Index (VI) calculation
from sample data residing in the VISCPRO
® database.
Viscosity Index calculations require kinematic viscosity data derived from
samples tested at a high and a low temperature. The VI Matcher permits
the user to define which viscometer tubes are high temperature tubes and
which are low temperature tubes.
After the VI Matcher has been initially configured by the user (this is
ordinarily done during initial instrument setup), the VI Analysis can be
used to automatically scan the VISCPRO
® sample database for samples
with matching Sample IDs. If samples with an identical Sample ID have
been tested on a low temperature tube and a high temperature tube within
an 8-hour time span, the VI for those samples can be calculated and
