Configure Viscosity Test - Ametek BROOKFIELD DVNext Operation Instructions Manual

When OK is pressed, the configure viscosity screen will be populated with the recommended parameters from the
Viscosity Wizard. If the Viscosity Wizard was unable to obtain a torque between 20% and 80%, the device will adjust
the speed. In some cases, the device may recommend switching to a different spindle (see Figure 2-13).
If the Viscosity Wizard is not able to obtain torque measurements within 20-80%, the "Please Contact AMETEK
Brookfield" screen will be displayed (see Figure 2-14).

2.4.2 Configure viscosity test

If the user does not wish to use the Viscosity Wizard, the Configure Viscosity Test function can be used. The
Configure Viscosity Test is shown at the conclusion of the AutoZero function or by selection on the Home Menu
All elements related to the measurement of viscosity are selected within Configure Viscosity Test. Tests that are
created can be saved to the internal memory of the DVNext Rheometer or onto a connected USB Flash Drive. Tests
can be loaded from memory by selecting Load Test from the Home Screen. Many aspects of Configure Viscosity
Test can be limited when User ID and Log In functions are implemented (see Section V.4.2). The basic Configure
Viscosity Test view is shown in Figure 2-15. This view includes the Status Bar, Title Bar (which includes the Home and
Settings icons), test name, test parameters, the More/Less bar, and Command Keys.
The user can see the name of any test that has been loaded through the Load Test function. In Figure 2-15, the file
name is listed as Unsaved Test, indicating that the current test has not been saved.
The More/Less bar is seen just below the test parameters. In Figure 2-15, this bar includes a down arrow, which
indicates that more information is available. Figure 2-16 shows the additional information that can be accessed. The
More/Less bar in this view has an up arrow indicating that the additional information can be hidden.
The Command Keys include Clear, Save and Run.
