Save: Savethecurrenttest.

Run: Runthecurrenttest.

Thetestparameterareaincludesmanyelementsoftheyieldtestaswellaslivemeasurementof

temperature.TemperaturedatawillonlybedisplayedifaBrookeldtemperatureprobeisconnected

totheDV3TRheometer.

Spindle: Thecurrentlyselectedspindle.AllYieldandStresscalculations

willbemadebasedontheSpindleselectionandtheImmersion

Mark.Spindlechoiceislimitedtovanespindlesoruserdened

customspindles.

ImmersionMark: SpecifytheimmersionlocationoftheBrookeldvanespindle.

Primaryisattheimmersionmarkshownonthespindleshaft.

RunSpeed: Specifythespeedoftheyieldtest.

TorqueReduction: Specifytheendpointofthetest.Normallysetto100%.

Temperature: Alivesignalfromtherheometerwhenatemperatureprobe

is attached (Brookeld Part No. DVP-94Y). Also  shown

is the set point used to control the attached temperature

controller(BrookeldThermoselorTC-XX0SD/TC-XX0AP
