Appendix B: Spindle Overview
Find spindle factors inside ViscoQC: see Spindle information p. 17.
TIP: In order to view factors of spindles that are not actually at hand, deactivate the Toolmaster™ (section )
before you open the Spindle information. Via spindle list (field "Spindle") you can then view all available
spindles and measuring systems.
