If the instrument is correctly connected to your PC with the USB (or RS-232) cable, the green light
will come on and the type of communication port being used will be identified, in
this case, USB.
While on this page, it is also possible to adjust the measurement units, axial speed for moving the
lids up and down, and torsional speed for rotating the trough. Default values are set at the factory
for measurement units and operating speeds. If you decide to change any of these values, you must
then shut down the Powder Flow Pro program and start it up again in order for the changes to take
effect.
The setup tab also contains the different lid descriptions and part number to help correctly choose
the lid that fits the test being run. The lid can be changed in the Test Tab under “Test Options”.
