GUI. Refer to Getting Started for more information. Calibrate Temperature (VISCPRO II) Calibrate the temperature of the CAV 4.2 whenever the instrument is moved, a new bath temperature is to be used, or the bath fluid is refilled. The instrument is calibrated by inserting a thermometer through an access hole in the display hood, measuring the actual temperature of the bath fluid, and entering that temperature into the CAV 4.2 software. -

Viscometer tube calibration values are associated with specific temperatures, so calibration must be performed when operating a CAV 4.2 bath at a new temperature. Once a tube is calibrated at a particular temperature, the C and E constants are saved by the instrument and will be recalled if that tube is set to run at that temperature again. -
