V.3 Global Settings
The Global Settings menu includes settings that affect the operation of the DV3T across all users
and menus. These settings are independent of user log in. The five Global Settings include:
Measurement Units - Select the unit of measure for several parameters.
Regional Settings - Specify language, number, time, and date formats.
Global Alarm - Select a single measurement parameter for alarm status.
Spindle List - Configure the display of available spindles; create a special spindle.
Speed List - Configure the display of available speeds; create a new speed.
Measurement Units:
The Measurement Units menu displays the current selections for measurement
units. Each unit can be changed by pressing the blue down arrow and
selecting the desired value. Measurement Units are part of the data file for
saved results. Available units include:
Viscosity
cP
centipoise
P
Poise
mPa•s
milliPascal seconds
Pa•s
Pascal seconds
cSt
centistokes
mm
2
/s
millimeters squared per second
1000 cP = 10 P = 1000 mPa•s = 1 Pa•s
1 cSt = 1 mm
2
/s
TIP: When cSt units are chosen for viscosity, a density
value must be entered in the Density field in Configure
Viscosity Test.
Speed
RPM
revolutions per minute
1/s
reciprocal seconds
The relationship between RPM and 1/s is defined by the
SCR value of the selected spindle. See Appendix D for
details.
