Spindle List:
The selection of Spindle in Configure Viscosity Test can be done by using either a
number pad or a scroll list. (This choice is selected through the navigation button
in the Set Spindle screen.) The contents of the scroll list are defined in the Spindle
List menu. Each spindle can be individually selected or deselected through the use
of a check box. Spindles, shown with both their name and their number, are listed
numerically according to their spindle entry number.
The restricted spindle will not appear on the scroll list of available spindles when
choosing Spindle in Configure Viscosity Test. If the user selects to enter the spindle
by number, then the choice of a restricted spindle will present an Invalid Input
message and prevent the selection of the spindle (see Figure V-10).

TIP: To ensure that the correct spindle code is always entered, create a test that
is saved to the DV3T memory.
TIP: The selection of spindle can be restricted by User Log In. Use this restriction
combined with a saved test configuration to ensure that the correct spindle
is always used for critical tests. See Section V.4.2 for details of Users and
Access.
A Special Spindle can be created when the user has developed a new spindle geometry
or when using a standard Brookfield spindle in a non standard measurement container.
The Special Spindle, once created, will be available to users through the Spindle
selection in Configure Viscosity Test.
A Special Spindle is created by selecting the Special Spindle command button in the
Edit Spindle List menu. A Special Spindle requires a code, a name, and an SMC
value. Optional values include SRC and YMC.
