Running the software
Provide power to the miniQV-X instrument, and verify serial connections
to the computer. To load your newly-installed VISCPRO
® software,
double-click on the VISCPRO ® icon on your Windows ® desktop (Win-
dows ® NT ® users can click Start/All Programs/VISCPRO/VISCPRO
2.0).
If you received a configuration disk with your installation package, the
software may have already been preconfigured with instrument settings
unique to your laboratory, including instrument type(s), tube range and
serial #, and calibration constants. In a moment, we will verify these
settings. The image below demonstrates a typical screen configuration:
The VISCPRO ® primary display
The VISCPRO ® primary display window is framed on the top by the
VISCPRO ® title bar and menu bar, and on the bottom by the VISCPRO ®
status bar. The application window can be user-configured to include child
windows (Sample Input or Machine Status windows, Analyses) which can
be opened and closed independently. The Sample Input window describes
your CANNON
® instrument and provides controls for running tests. The
Analysis window presents data from miniQV-X tests.
