Profile Builder
The Test Profile Builder creates temperature, pressure, and motor profiles for
Consistometer tests.
1.
Select Edit → Test. On the Profile tab, click the “Open Builder” button.
2.
Click "New Test" to build a new test profile. To edit a current test profile,
select a test from the list on the left-hand side by double clicking on the
appropriate test
3.
In the "Profile Name" box, enter a test name.
4.
Each test profile has three parameters: temperature, pressure, and motor
speed. For each parameter, there is a series of steps. Each step specifies
the setpoint and other options for that parameter.
To add a step, click the Temperature, Pressure, or Motor tab and then
click the “Add” button. As you add steps to the test profile, the graph
below will change to reflect the new data.
When building a test at temperatures above 190°F (87.8°C), the unit will
calculate and apply a minimum pressure to prevent the sample from
boiling.
There are three types of steps:
• Ramp – This will increase the temperature or pressure up to the
target in a set number of minutes. You will be prompted for the
ramp time (hh:mm:ss) and target.
