The “Remote” function initiates measurements to be made under PC control. In this mode,
all functions of the R/S-CPS+ Rheometer are controlled by a PC. For PC-controlled mea-
surements, you need the Rheo 3000 Software. This software operates under Microsoft
Windows 7™, Windows 2000™, Windows XP™ and Vista™. More detailed information
on Rheo 3000 software can be obtained from Brookfield or an authorized dealer.
After selecting the Remote option, the rheometer displays the following:
Remote
Wait for RS232...
The rheometer waits for communication with a PC. Data transfer between the PC and the
rheometer is performed through the RS232 serial interface of the R/S-CPS+ Rheometer.
If the Rheo 3000 software is installed on the PC, the REMOTE (MEASURE) program can
be run. This operation can be ended at any time by pressing the ST key. The current mea-
surement is also cancelled by pressing the ST key in REMOTE operation.
On completion of the communication with the PC, the LCD shows: “Remote done ...” Press-
ing the ST key will return the display to the Main Menu.
During measurement in REMOTE operation, the LCD will display troubleshooting infor-
mation in case errors occur.
