operations.
CAV module menu options
In addition to the VISCPRO ® menu functions, unique software applica-
tion modules for each type of CANNON ® instrument generate additional
interface options. The modules determine the characteristics, function
and appearance of VISCPRO
® software menus and windows. The CAV
software module generates menu choices from the VISCPRO ® primary
display. These menu choices (under the Configure and Service head-
ings) access important CAV configuration and operation options.
Configure options
The Configure menu provides the user with a powerful tool for descrip-
tion of CAV instrument capabilities, and for customizing CAV test
procedures. Once configuration settings have been determined for
optimum performance, the settings can be saved and restored using the
Main menu Save Instrument and View Instrument functions.
A CANNON ® representative will assist in determining initial configura-
tion settings during the CAV installation procedure. Additional configura-

samples.
Configuration settings will need to be updated when instrument specifi-
