Here’s how it works: Just click Main/View Instrument from the
VISCPRO II interface to open the View Instrument Group window,
which displays all CANNON instrument types communicating with your
computer. Then select the desired instrument group (all instruments in a
single group communicate with the computer via the same COM port).
Once you have opened the desired instrument group, the Sample Input
window will appear. Individual viscometer tube tabs now make it pos-
sible to enter sample information for each viscometer in the instrument
group.
You can toggle back and forth between the Sample Input window and
the new instrument Machine Status window by pressing Ctrl-Page
Down.

pressing Ctrl-Page Down from the Sample Input window to display

four do not exist but could be accommodated in this instrument group.
The “placeholders” for these instruments are greyed out to indicate that
