Measurement type [Abs., Sayboldt, rel., blank value]
Number of measurements [1 ... 99]
Pre. temp. time [1...20 min]
Input of the temperature pre-adaptation time in minutes. In the course of the temperature pre-adaptation, the
liquid is permanently pumped upwards and flows through the viscometer, just as in the course of a
measurement; this process is intended for a speedy temperature adaptation. The input of the temperature
pre-adaptation time may be as high as 20 minutes.

Completing a measurement
Depending on the specific circumstances, there is a number of conditions which lead to the completion or
cancellation of the measurement program in the AVS 470 Viscosity Measuring Unit:
-
Automatically, as soon as the specified number(s) of measurements including the repeated
measurement has been performed; this is the normal case.
-
Abortion of the respective measurement series by selecting "Stop". In this case all device measure-
ment values will be lost; this feature should only be used in emergency cases.
-
Abortion of the respective measurement series by a time-out error. In this case all device
measurement values will be lost, and the measurement is to be restarted.
-
Mains failure: In the case of a power failure all device measurement values will be lost. After the re-
turn of the mains current the condition will be as it was after parameterisation, prior to the measure-
ment. The set and stored parameters will remain preserved in the EPROM.Data transfer
