VI.7.1 Configuration → Output Mode
This function defines the output device (printer, serial interface) which will receive the re-
sults. This setting is independent of the internal memory in the rheometer for data storage.
When tests are run, the data is automatically stored in memory in addition to being sent to
the configured output device.
After selecting this function, you are prompted to select an output device:
Select output-device:
-No output-device
-Printer
-RS232
Internal memory only
Additional output
to serial interface
Additional output to
printer
Choice of an output device is stored in the instrument by pressing the OK key. This selec-
tion remains stored even after switching off the instrument!
The set output device is prompted before the start of every measurement (see Section VI.5.2:
Main Menu
→
Single measurement and Section VI5.3: Main Menu
→
Run Program ).

After selecting an output device and before the start of every measurement, be sure that:
a) the printer is connected to the rheometer and is ready for operation. If the printer is not
ready, you cannot start the measurement.
or
b) the RS232 is connected to the receiving device (normally a PC), which is set to the
data transfer parameters of the rheometer (see Section VI.7.5: Configuration → RS232
Parameters ) and ready to receive data. If the receiving side is not ready, the data will
not be transmitted or will be transmitted to Null (see Section VI.8: Serial Data Transfer
via the RS232 Interface ).
VI.7.2 Configuration → MeasCount Mode
The measurement series counter MEASCOUNT increases by 1 before each measurement
is started. The measurement series counter serves to identify a measurement series. The
counter increments until it is reset manually (“MeasCount=0”) or automatically. The user
defines whether the measuring counter is reset daily or not.
