Brookfield DV2T Viscometer - Manual (Page 18)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 18 Manual No. M13-167-B0614
Torque: A live signal from the viscometer.
Spindle: The currently selected spindle. All viscosity, shear
rate, and shear stress calculations will be made based
on this spindle. The spindle number may be changed
by pressing the blue arrow.
Speed: The currently selected speed of rotation. The
viscometer will operate at this speed once the RUN
command key is pressed. The speed may be changed
by pressing the blue arrow.
Temperature: A live signal from the viscometer when a temperature
probe is attached (Brookfield part number DVP-94Y
or SC4-61Y).
End Condition: Specify the condition that will end the test.
Data Collection: Specify the amount of data to be collected during
the test.
Instructions: Create a message that the user will see when the
test begins.
Reports: Define how the data will be viewed when the test is
complete.
QC Limits: Define the limits for acceptable measurement data.
Density: Define the density of the test sample. This information
will be used when kinematic viscosity units are
selected for display (see Section IV.3).
II.5.2 Load Test
Test programs that are created (Configure Viscosity Test) can be saved to the internal
memory of the DV2T or to a USB Flash Drive. These files can be reloaded into the DV2T
for immediate use through the Load Test function. A file that is placed onto a USB Flash
Drive can be loaded onto any DV2T Viscometer.
Within the Load Test function, the user can access the internal memory of the viscometer
or any USB Flash Drive that is connected to a USB port
. The viscometer will point to
the USB Flash Drive according to the order in which it is connected. The first USB Flash
Drive that is connected will be referred to as #1 on both the Load Test screens and the
Status Bar (see Section II.3). You can have as many as three USB Flash Drives connected
to the DV2T at any time.
Test files that are displayed on the screen can be sorted by date of creation or by alpha/
numeric.
This sorting is selected by pressing the Navigation Icon
or .
TIP: You can use the Manage Files function to move Test files from internal memory
to a USB Flash Drive.
