8.  CONNECTION TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER 

Using the standard RS-232C serial interface and the RS-232C cable provided, the viscometer can 

be connected to a personal computer. 

In addition, using the graphing program RsVisco, contained in the accessory Windows 

communication tools WinCT-Viscosity, measurement data are imported to a Windows-based 

personal computer to display a graph in real time.   

For details, refer to "\English\ReadMe.txt" on the CR-ROM.
