“Start Test”
- This button starts a test in Auto Mode. Once a test is started,
this button becomes the “Abort Test” button. Click here to stop the test.
“Cement”
- This button performs the same function as the “CEM” button on
the unit’s keypad. Refer to page 21 for more information.
“Mud”

The “Mud” and “Cement” buttons perform standard tests based

is disabled during custom Auto-Mode tests, is available during a “Mud” or
“Cement” test.

the steps of the current test and highlights the one currently in process.
“Status”
- This box at the top of the screen shows the current status of the
test.

communicating with the viscometer. If communication is interrupted for any
reason, the light will shine red to indicate a problem.

begin recording test data. The light next to this button will shine green while
logging is in progress.
