2.4.3 Configure yield test
Yield measurements are made on the DVNext Rheometer through the Configure Yield Test function. The user can
select Configure Yield Test from the Home Menu.
All elements related to the measurement of yield are selected within Configure Yield 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.
TIP: Many aspects of configure Yield Test can be limited when User ID and Log In functions are implemented for
compliant editions.
The basic Configure Yield Test view is shown in Figure 2-17. 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 thorough the Load Test function. In Figure 2-6, 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 2-17, the bar includes a down arrow, which indicates that more information is available. Figure 2-18 shows
the additional information that can be accessed. The More/ Less bar in this view now has an up arrow indicating that
the additional information can be hidden.
M19-2101 REVISION 2.0
The currently selected spindle. All viscosity, shear rate, and shear stress
calculations will be made based on this spindle. The spindle number may be
changed by pressing the blue arrow.
The currently selected speed of rotation. The rheometer will operate at this
speed once the RUN command key is pressed. The speed may be changed by
pressing the blue arrow.
A live signal from the rheometer when a temperature probe is attached
(AMETEK Brookfield part number DVP-94Y or SC4-61Y).
Specify the condition that will end the test.
Create a message that the user will see when the test begins.
Define how the data will be viewed when the test is complete.
Define the limits for acceptable measurement data.
Define the density of the test sample. This information will be used when
kinematic viscosity units are selected for display (see Section V.4.2)
