IBM R/S Rheometer M/02-212 - Manual (Page 35)

If you have passed these points, before starting a measurement, the Rheometer will indicate, where
the measure points will be written to.
At this point you either can start a measurement by pressing key, or return back to Main menue
using key.
In this example we see, that measurement points will be saved in the memory and will be printed at the
printer, so be sure that printer is connected to the Rheometer and ready for operation (=output device).
Output devices are printer or serial interface RS232 of the Rheometer or no device (no output device).
Their preliminary selection is described in Chapter “Configuration
→ Set Output Mode”.
In case, the Memory is full with measurement data, you have to cancel function Run Single, print out the
measurement data from the memory or send data to a PC via serial interface (see Chapter “Utilities
→
Print Memory”) and then delete measurement data from the Memory (see Chapter “Utilities → Delete
Memory”).
However, you can start a measurement even with full Memory, in this case measurement results will be
shown only at LCD display and will be lost after completion of the measurement (because no output
device archives measured data).
If you start the measurement, the instrument shows:
This message will be displayed until the first measurement point is calculated.
First Measure point is displayed like this:
If torque is less than 10 ‰
measurement results are often of low precision. In this case, preset values
are to be changed in such a manner, that the torque is higher than 10 ‰.
If the display field for the torque indicates: “M low!”, these values are outside the range of resolution of
the Rheometer.
If the temperature is not to displayed, the measuring sensor is not connected.
At printout, the temperature is printed as 1000.0°C!
The display is updated on every new measure point. Current measurement can be canceled at any time
by pushing key.
