III.8 End Condition
The completion of a test is defined by the End Condition. Each time that you enter Configure
Viscosity Test, the End Condition will be set to the last value used. The End Condition parameter
or values can be changed by pressing the End Condition button.
Within the End Condition screen, the currently selected End Condition parameter and values are
displayed. The End Condition can be changed by pressing the blue down arrow within the parameter
field. Six End Conditions are available: Time, # of Points, # of Revolutions, Torque, Viscosity,
Temperature (see Figure III-10).

Time
: The test will complete when the specified amount of time has elapsed. Time
is entered in Hours, Minutes, and Seconds.
Hours: 0-99
Minutes: 0-59
Seconds: 0-59
A time of zero hours, minutes and seconds may be selected. With this End
Condition, the DV3T will operate at the selected speed until the operator
selects Stop Test. Data will be collected according to the Data Collection
setting (see Section III.7).
TIP: An End Condition of zero Time can be useful when measuring a new
material. During the test, the speed can be changed without ending and
then rerunning the test (see Section III.10). This method can allow you
to quickly evaluate the spindle selection to determine the best speeds
for testing.
# of Points
: The test will complete when the specified number of data points has been
collected. Data is collected according to the Data Collection setting (see
Section III.6). The range of data points is: 1 – 9,999.
