17. Select “Print to Printer” if you want a chart to automatically print when
you stop a test. Select “Print to File” if you want a .jpg file to be create
automatically when you stop a test.
Both of these options can be enabled at the same time. It is
recommended that “Print to File” always be enabled.
18. Choose values for the “Consistency #1”, “Consistency #2” and
“Consistency #3” fields.
These values tell the software to record the test time when the
consistency reaches each point. A note will be made on the chart when
the test is finished.
Make sure that if you select “Bc” for consistency units that you also use
Bc for these two fields. Likewise, if you chose “V” for consistency units,
you must use voltage for these two fields.
19. Select “Automatic stop collecting data” if you want the Consistometer to
stop collecting data during an alarm condition.
During an alarm condition, the motor, heaters, and pump all stop. By
default, when the alarm condition is resolved, everything restarts.
However, if the “Automatic stop collecting data” box is checked data
collection is also stopped, and only the motor and pump restart. The
heaters remain off and no more data is collected.

When finished, click “OK”.
21. Select “Set Alarm” from the “Utilities” menu.
22. Enter a value in Bc. If the sample reaches this consistency, the unit will
enter alarm condition.
