III.6 End Condition
ThecompletionofatestisdenedbytheEndCondition.EachtimethatyouenterCongure
ViscosityTest,theEndConditionwillbesettothelastvalueused.TheEndConditionparameter
orvaluescanbechangedbypressingtheEndConditionbutton.
WithintheEndConditionscreen,thecurrentlyselectedEndConditionparameterandvaluesare
displayed.TheEndConditioncanbechangedbypressingthebluedownarrowwithintheparameter
eld.SixEndConditionsareavailable:Time,#ofPoints,#ofRevolutions,Torque,Viscosity,
Temperature(seeFigureIII-5).

Time:Thetestwillcompletewhenthespeciedamountoftimehaselapsed.Timeisentered
inHours,Minutes,andSeconds.
Hours: 0-99
Minutes: 0-59
Seconds: 0-59
 Atimeofzerohours,minutesandsecondsmaybeselected.WiththisEndCondition,
theDV2TwilloperateattheselectedspeeduntiltheoperatorselectsStopTest.Data
willbecollectedaccordingtotheDataCollectionsetting(seeSectionIII.5).
TIP:AnEndConditionofzeroTimecanbeusefulwhenmeasuringanewmaterial.
Duringthetest,thespeedcanbechangedwithoutendingandthenrerunning
thetest(seeSectionIII.8).Thismethodcanallowyoutoquicklyevaluatethe
spindleselectiontodeterminethebestspeedsfortesting.
