The Settings menu provides access to the many controls and features of the DVNext Rheometer. This menu can be
accessed through the Settings Navigation Icon which is often present in the Title Bar. Figure 5-1 shows the Settings
Menu which is divided into: Device Setup, User Settings, Global Settings, and Admin Functions. Global Settings
include items that affect the complete range of features within the DVNext. Admin Functions include items related to
administrator level controls.

5.1 Device setup

The Device Setup menu includes settings related to the mechanical systems and connections of the DVNext. Eight

The temperature menu provides access to three functions: Temperature Offset, Temperature Controller Access, and
Temperature Display/Settings.
Temperature
The Temperature Offset setting allows the user to create up to 10 temperature offset values for connected
temperature probes. AMETEK Brookfield offers several types of temperature probes for use with the DVNext
including: DVP-94Y immersion probe (supplied with the DVNext), CPA-44PYZ embedded probe (optional with Cone/
Plate DVNext Rheometers), and SC4-13RP embedded probe (optional with Small Sample Adapter). Any
of these probes can be calibrated locally against a standard reference thermometer to determine an offset (how far
from the actual temperature does the probe read). This offset can be entered the DVNext Rheometer and identified
with a name defined by the user.
When Temperature is selected in the Device Setup menu, the Temperature Offset menu is presented (see Figure
5-3). From this menu you can create new offset values by pressing the Add Probe Offset command key at the bottom
of the screen and you can select which offset to utilize with the DVNext by pressing the circle beside the name.
