Brookfield DV-III Ultra Rheometer - Manual (Page 35)

Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Page 35 Manual No. M98-211-E0912
The user inputs his step RPM exactly as he did for finite step time programs above. However,
for time, input 00:00 and press the ENTER key. From this point forward, the user will only be able
to enter speeds since each press of the ENTER key will advance him to the next step. The OPTION/
TAB
key will not be required. If the user wishes to correct the speed input, continue to press the
numeric/decimal point keys until satisfied. To correct a speed after pressing the
ENTER
key for that
step, wait until the program is complete and then edit the program to correct the mistake. To end
a program, simply enter and accept a step RPM of zero (0) or continue to input step data until the
program reaches the twenty-five (25) step program limit. Speed restrictions/limits are the same as
for the description just above as are the error messages.
S EDITING A SPEED SET (PROGRAM)
This item is used to review a just-entered program or to review/modify (edit) a program already
stored in a memory slot. Entry to this method would typically be from Figure IV-3 after selecting
an “IN MEM” program slot or by pressing the “1” key in Figure IV-2 having just finished entering
a program. In either case, the user is presented with:
REVIEW SPEED SET #3
STEP 01 OF 03
STEP RPM = 10.0
STEP TIME = 00:05
Figure IV-9
Operation in this mode is exactly the same as for entering a new speed set; all key actions and speed
and time limits are the same. At this point, the user may continue to review/modify the speeds
comprising speed set #3 or elect to print a listing of the speeds in this speed set. To accomplish
this, the user must be in the program Enter/Edit mode; have selected or programmed a speed set
which contains more than two (2) speeds, and then press the
PRINT
key. If all is well (i.e. satisfied
the above requirements) the rheometer will display:
PRINT SPEED SET #3
READY PRINTER THEN
PRESS PRINT KEY.
Figure IV-10
This message simply asks the user to make sure the printer is ready (it’s on-line and has paper in it)
and then awaits for the PRINT key to be pressed. When it is pressed, the DV-III Ultra will send
the following data to the attached printer:
