Post Test Averaging
: Average and Standard Deviation are calculated for measured and
calculated parameters including: Viscosity, Torque, Shear Stress,
and Temperature.
Post Test Averaging is calculated regardless of the Data Collection
setting. If Data Collection was set to Multipoint Averaging, then the
Post Test Averaging will calculate an average of the averaged data.
When using multiple step programs generated through PG Flash
software, the test step utilized for Post Test Averaging is specified
in the Report setting (see Section III.7).
Test Used
: Display the test elements used to generate the data set. In this view, the
Configure Test button is available. Selecting Configure Test will program the
DV2T to run the same test utilized to collect the data set being viewed and
present the Configure Viscosity Test screen.
Notes
: Document any relevant information about the test or data. This information will
be stored with the data set once saved.
Compare Results
: Load two data sets and view side by side.

Device Info
: Display basic information about the data file and the specific DV2T Viscometer
used to collect the data including: date and time the test started, completed
and was saved; if user accounts are active, which user saved the data;
viscometer serial number, firmware version, viscometer Torque range (LV,
RV, HA, HB, other).
III.10 Data Averaging
The DV2T Viscometer offers two techniques to average data, Live Averaging and Post Test
Averaging. Data averaging can be useful when measuring samples with entrained air or
suspended particles that case some variation in measurement results. Data averaging
may not be useful when changes in measurement results are caused by the rheological
properties of the test sample such as thixotropy or pseudoplasticity (shear thinning).
