Spindle: 
In this menu, you can select a required spindle for measuring�
1� List: According to the rough viscosity of the media to select a required spindle from the spindle list under 

different spindle groups (Standard spindle, Spiral, ELVAS���)� A tick (√) show the selected spindle and group�

2� Search: According to required speed and rough viscosity of the media to select a required spindle�

Note:

 The maximum viscosity (full scale range) can be automatically calculated basing on the selected spin-

dle, the speed and the integrated spring series (lo-vi/me-vi/hi-vi I/hi-vi II)�

   

Temperature:

Probe Temperature: 
In this menu, you can check the temperature of the media when the temperature sensor is connected�

Display: 
In this menu, you can specify the measured temperature value on the screen� A tick (√) show that the option 
is activated�

Calibration: 
In this menu, you can calibrate the connected temperature sensor with help of an external standard reference 
temperature thermometer� 

Note:

 The temperature sensor must be calibrated whenever it is replaced or changed, or if a new temperature 

sensor is installed� The temperature sensor supplied with the system is calibrated in factory�

   

Display:

Temperature: 
In this menu, you can specify the measured temperature value on the screen� A tick (√) show that the option 
is activated�

Level meter: 
In this menu, you can check the levelling status of the device�

  

Graph:

Axis Assignment: 
In this menu you can select 2 parameters from the 7 options (shear rate, shear stress, speed���) for axis 
assignment� The ticks (√) show that the options that are activated� The selected parameters will be used for 
the graph in the profile�

Axis scale:
When parameter “Time“ is not selected, the menu option “Axis scale“ is disabled and shown in grey color�
When you select “Time“ as one axis, the “Axis scale” gets enabled and can be edited� You can select 15, 30, 
60 or 120 minutes as the axis scale� The selected scale will be used for the graph in the profile�

   

Program:

Program: 
In this menu, 5 user-defined “speed-time” profiles can be created� A program can consist of up to 10 segments� 
Once a program has been selected, the following options are available:

1� Start:

Starts the program upon request of loop mode�

Infinite loop:

 

Upon completion of the last segment, the program continues with the first segment until 

the user ends the program by stopping a device function�

Loop count:

 

Indicates the total number of loop cycles until program end�

When the selected program is started by pressing on menu option “Start” with rotary/push knob, screen 
reminds the user to confirm the program (PR) control� Press “OK” with rotary/push knob to start the 
program control�

Note: 

At the end of the program all device functions are switched off�

2� Edit:

Edit/change the selected program by pressing on the button “Edit“ with rotary/push knob�
Start to edit the selected program parameters (speed and time ) by pressing on the selected program� You 
can “Edit”, “Delete“, “Insert“ and “Save“ the program segment with the rotary/push knob�
When you edit the program for at least one segment, symbol (   ) for respective program will appear�

In a program, user can define up to 10 program segments� The selected program segment is highlighted 
in blue color� Then, the user can edit, delete, insert or save segment in this program by rotating/pressing 
on the rotary/push knob� 
When editing a parameter (Speed / Time), press the rotary/push knob on the selected parameter� The 
highlighted cursor changed into yellow color indicate that parameter can be edited by rotating the rotary/
push knob�
When the “Back” button is pressed after editing, the program is saved after pressing on “OK“ as reminding
