Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 25 Manual No. M08-218-B0212
Input of Values:
Val.[1/s]: 0290.00
Nr. of MP: 010
Time[s]: 0100
Note: If you press and hold one of the or keys while entering numbers, the digit will first
increment or decrement by +/- 1. However, after a short period of time, the process will
continue automatically. This corresponds to the Repeat Function of computer keyboards.
In this example, the key was pressed and held until the “9” was displayed. The repeat
function is only active during numerical and alphanumeric input.
When the desired number is displayed, accept it by pressing the OK key: the cursor now moves
to the first digit of the next field to be entered.
Alphanumeric inputs
Some fields allow for both numbers and letters. These are entered the same way as previously
discussed for numeric fields. The available entries are: 0 through 9, A through Z, and the blank
symbol “ ”. If you wish to change the letter “B” to the number “7”, press and hold the or
keys until the “7” appears at the display.
Alphanumeric input is available when assigning a name to a user defined program, or an ID to a
user defined test measurement.
VI.5 Menu Entries (MAIN Menu)
Menu entries (see Section VI.2: Menu System of R/S-CPS+ Rheometer) either lead to submenus
(e.g. Utilities or Configuration), or they start one of the rheometer’s functions directly.
All gray fields in the tree chart in this section that have no further right branches start functions.
Those with right branches are submenus.
Recall the keyboard layout from Section VI.1. By pressing the and keys, the cursor
(black rectangle) moves up and down. The
OK
key starts a function. If a submenu is assigned
to the entry it will open, otherwise the function of the rheometer is started. The functions of the
R/S-CPS+ Rheometer are described in detail in this section.
VI.5.1 MAIN Menu → Bath/Circulator (only for P1 and P2 models)
This optionally available menu item permits an adjustment of temperature set points on
rheometer configurations R/S CPS+ P1 and P2 with Peltier temperature control.
After actuating the main control switch of the rheometer followed by a few seconds required
initial self-test, the following display screen is reached automatically:
