Brookfield DV-III Rheometer - Manual (Page 14)

Example: If the time in step 3 is 30 seconds (00:30), when the display changes (to step
4) 00:30 will appear in the time field as the new default time.
You now have two choices:
i) The time may be changed to another (01:30, for instance) following steps 4 through
6 above (the new time will overwrite the old time automatically).
ii) The default time of 00:30 may be accepted by pressing the NEXT key after the
speed entry (to accept the speed) and then the PROG RUN key to move to the next
step. In this case, by not pressing the NEXT key to accept the previous time (00:30),
the sequence automatically moves to the next Prog Speed step.
If the time was changed from 00:30 to 01:30 (and accepted by pressing the NEXT
key), this time would become the default time for the next Prog Speed step.
c) If a mistake is made in entering speed or time, it may be corrected by pressing the NEXT
key twice to move out of the field you are in and back into the field to be changed.
Example: If the speed entered was 25.5, and 25.3 was required, the NEXT key is pressed
twice after 25.5 is entered. This would move the cursor back to the beginning
of the speed field. 25.3 is entered, overwriting the 25.5 entry.
d) The DV-III will accept 0 (zero) as a valid speed, but will not accept 0 as a valid time in
a Prog Speed mode program.
III.3 Reviewing NEXT and PROG Speed Set Programs
You must select the Review/Modify Option when you wish to review or modify a program.
1) From the main screen, press the PROG SPEED key and enter the number of the speed set
program to be reviewed or modified. You can only select from the “IN MEM” line on the screen
display. Figure 11 shows speed set 2 was selected.

Now press 1 = Review/Modify (or from the “Program Complete” box after a program has been
entered, press the number 1 key Review/Modify).
2) To review program steps, press the PROG RUN key and scroll through the steps.
3) To modify the speed and time fields you enter new values; press the NEXT key to accept them
and to move between the fields. After you have modified a step you press PROG RUN to move
to the next step in the program.
4) Press the CANCEL key to exit and accept any changes you may have made.
