After measurement, or after a break, the display field for Step indicates “END” or “BREAK”.
The Display toggles in intervals of about 4 seconds between last displayed measure point and a
measuring end information like this:

By pressing key you return to the MAIN-Menue.

:
The last selected program parameters remain nonvolatile in the instrument memory also after
switching off the Rheometer.

Run Program
This function starts measurements, which were previously defined as a program. Contrary to “Run
Single”, here you can also set values as a linear function of time, for example D[s
-1
] = f(t). It is advisable
to use function Run Program always when you want to carry out repeating measurement series with the
same preset values and with the same measuring system. The second option is used when a user can
carry out measurement without large previous information of rheology. Actually, not every person,
starting a measurement, has unlimited possibilities to determine correct preset values and
measurement system for a medium under study (optimal use of measurement range, irreversible
rheological changes of the substance studied, etc.). 4 standard programs can be defined. How to define
or to edit pragram is described in Chapter “Utilities
→
Edit Program”.
Function Run Program starts one of the programs defined in memory. If there is no program available,
the following error message is displayed:
In such a case, you first have to define a program (“Utilities
→
Edit Program”). Using key you
return back to the Main menue.
However, if programs are available, the list for selection of programs, stored in the memory, appears.
Here you must select the program to start (selection from the list, operation see Chapter 6.3).
Press key to select the preselected program (here the program named “Test”), this operation will be
followed by ID input (identification text of the measurement).
You can give your measurement a name (max. 15 characters) (alphanumerical input, operation see
Chapter 6.4).
