There are four important control variables, which govern the start of a test:
Melt Pause, Delay, Melt Time
and
Start Position
.
The plunger position is the distance in millimeters from the upper limit position or the
HOME position of the load cell. All positions displayed and requested are therefore the
distance away from the HOME position. When the rheometer is first turned on the HOME
position is found and set to zero by the rheometers internal program called firmware. Once
the HOME position is established the rheometer then moves to the PARK position set by
you for sample loading. Since the HOME position is used as a reference for all other
positions it is important not to interrupt the rheometer when it first starts up and finds the
HOME position.
Charge #:
This is the run number the rheometer includes with the data. Normally when a
new test is started this value should automatically update to the next corresponding
number. This value is automatically incremented every time a test is done. The run
number also includes the version of the software (e.g., “(v1.0) 1”).
Point Position:
Positions are the actual locations in the barrel where the data is collected.
Typically, this means that when this position is reached the reading is taken. The 0.0
position is when the rheometer hits the upper limit switch when it is first turned on.
Any time you enter RheoSights you will enter at the RheoSights Main Operation page. From
the Main Operation page, you can move freely in and out of any one of the operating pages
of RheoSights by clicking on the icon within the toolbar of your choice.
