user may view a live chart at any time by pressing the LIVE CHART tab button

ADVANCED CHART & PRINTING OPTIONS button (Please note that a printer
must be connected to the instrument before trying to print.). This button will also
enable the user to view detailed test information and streaming numerical data. The
user can also create custom header and footer segments of the printed plot. Pressing
the EXIT button returns the user to the RUN TIME MENU shown below.
The instrument is equipped with an automatic consistency shutdown and alarm.
Use the up/down arrows to select the consistency value at which the alarm should
occur. If the Auto Shutdown feature is ON, the instrument will automatically stop
the test when the indicated alarm value is reached. In addition to stopping the test,
automatic shutdown will also turn the heater and motor off and the cooling water
on. Note that the Auto Shutdown Alarm is in addition to the alarm values entered in
TEST SETUP that are printed with each plot. In addition to the automatic
consistency shutdown there is a timed shutdown. It is necessary to select the
number of hours from the drop- down box that is required for a timed shutdown.
