Multi Point Averagingrequiresadenitionof1)DataInterval,thefrequencyofdatacollection
and2)AveragingDuration,theamountoftimeforwhichreadingswillbeaveraged.Thesetwo
parameterswillworkinconjunctiontogeneratemultipledatapointseachofwhichrepresent
theaverageofalldatameasuredduringtheaveragedurationwithinthespeciedDataInterval.
PostTestAveragingofdataoccursafterthetestiscomplete,throughtheResultsscreen.Averages
andstandarddeviationvaluescanbegeneratedfordatacollectedinasinglesteporacrossseveral
steps.IfthetestusedtocollectdatautilizedLiveAveraging(describedabove),thenthePostTest
Averagingwillproduceanaveragevalueofaverageddatapoints.
PostTestAveragingcanbespeciedintheReportsectionofCongureViscosityTest(seeSection
III.9).Whenconguredaspartofthetest,theaveragevalueswillbedisplayedimmediately
upontestconclusion.IfnotspeciedinReport,PostTestAveragingcanbeselectedfromthe
DownArrowintheResultsscreen(seeSectionIII.11).
PostTestAveragingofferstwooptions:StepAveragingandTestAveraging(seeFigureIII-20).
