cated on the VISCPRO

4. Click on the Allow Matching of Invalid Samples box if you wish to
permit VI matching of samples with flow times exceeding the
specified tolerance for repeatability.
NOTE The VI Matcher does not match invalid samples UNLESS the Allow
Matching ... box is checked. The VI Matcher never matches unsuccessful
samples (samples with no flow time and a displayed kinematic viscosity of
“0”). If one of the samples ran successfully at one temperature but not at
the other, the good sample can still be used for VI matching if the failed
sample is rerun within the time frame selected for the VI Matching Date
Filter for the analysis.
5. Click on the ADD button to add a new VI configuration.
