V. AUTOMATED DATA GATHERING & ANALYSIS
There are two choices of applications software that can be purchased from Brookeld or an
authorized dealer for this purpose:
1. WINGATHER32 is a data gathering program which collects data output from the
DV-II+Pro and provides the capability to perform graphical analysis and data le
management.
2. RHEOCALC32 is a control program which operates the DV-II+Pro in external control
via a PC as well as a data gathering program for the purpose stated above in the
WINGATHER32 description.
V.1 WINGATHER32
Important features and benets in WINGATHER32 which enhance operator versatility in
performing viscosity tests include the following:
• 32-bit operation for rapid performance
• Compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and NT operating systems for exible
operation.
• Brookeld’s DV Loader software (for setting up test programs) is integrated into
WINGATHER32. DV Loader is an easy-to-use, structured command language which makes
detailed viscosity tests simple to program (see Section IV).
• Easy-to-use data gather modes including automatic follow up events (save data, analyze data,
print data)
• Manual scaling of plot axes
• Auto range feature which shows in screen display the complete viscosity range which can be
measured at any shear rate for a specic spindle geometry
• Concurrent plotting of six data sets on one graph
