When all parameters have been selected, the new parameters are displayed:
RS232: 19200,8,n,1
<OK>=storing
Accept the set parameters by pressing the
OK
key.
The new settings are now stored and will remain in the rheometer memory even after switch-
ing off the instrument.
VI.7.6 Configuration → Language
This function selects the user language of the R/S-CPS+ Rheometer. Available languages are:

Select the desired language and press the
OK key. The selected language will be preserved
in the instrument even after it is switched off.

VI.8 Serial Data Transfer via the RS232 Interface
Serial data transfer should only be done when the user of the rheometer has basic knowledge
of data processing and is capable of changing the data transfer parameters on the sending and
receiving sides.
Data can only be transferred successfully when the transmitter (R/S-CPS+ Rheometer) and receiver
(e.g. a PC) fulfill the following requirements:
1. The instruments are properly connected by the interface cable which is delivered with the
instrument. Caution: Both instruments must be switched off while the connection is
made! (see Appendix A.3).
2. The transmitter (R/S-CPS+ Rheometer) and the receiver are set to identical data transfer pa-
rameters (for R/S-CPS+ Rheometer, see Section VI.7.5: Configuration → RS232 Parameters).
3. The receiver has enough computing and memory capacity to receive or store the data.
The following example demonstrates reception by means of the terminal program under Micro-
soft™ Windows.
