The time required for reading stabilization will depend on the speed of rotation and the nature
of the test sample. Longer runs times are recommended at lower speeds.

II.7 Printing
Pressing the
key at any time sends information on test parameters to the printer port.
However, viscosity, full scale range and shear stress data will only be printed after it is first
displayed during a test run.
To print a heading, press and hold the
STOP/ESCAPE
key and press the
key. Then start the
test by pressing the
RUN
key. Press the
key whenever data is desired during the test.

A maximum of 999 seconds can be printed when running in manual
TIMER
mode (00). Over
999 seconds will print
EEE
.
The TIMER (SEC) column will indicate the accumulated time of running at the moment the
print key is pressed while the cone is rotating. This time value will not include the hold time.
At the end of a test, data will automatically be sent to the printer port.
II. Run and Stop Keys
The
RUN
key has three functions:
1. Press RUN to begin a test.
2. Press and hold the
RUN
key for continuous rotation when
00
is the run time setting.
3. Used in executing a cone calibration.
The
STOP
key has three functions:
1. Stops the cone rotation at any time.
2. Pressing and holding the
STOP/ESCAPE
key during power up selects the special func-
tions mode where the viscosity display units and speed of rotation may be changed.
(Section II.1)
3. Pressing and holding the
STOP
and
keys simultaneously executes the printing of
a new heading (Section II.7).
