“Cond Pause” - This button will pause a test during the conditioning phase
and put the software into Manual Mode. While the test is paused, the motor
and heat controls can be controlled in the same manner as in a standard
Manual Mode test.
To resume the test, click the “Cond Pause” button again. You will be asked if
you want to “Continue” the test with the remaining conditioning time or if you
want to “Override” the remaining time and extend the effective conditioning
time. If you choose to “Continue”, the time remaining in the conditioning
cycle will appear as though the test was never paused. If you choose to
“Override”, the time remaining in the conditioning cycle will resume at the
point where the test was paused.
For example, assume a test has a conditioning time of 10 minutes and the
test is paused at the 5 minute mark for 1 minute. If the test is unpaused
using the “Continue” option, the time remaining in the conditioning cycle will
be 4 minutes. However, if the test is unpaused using the “Override” option,
the time remaining in the conditioning cycle will be ve minutes, making the
effective total conditioning time 11 minutes.
“Raw File Save Period” - This eld determines how often data is recorded
during a test.
“Experiment Name” - This eld will be used to identify the experiment later.
This eld is required before starting a test in Auto Mode or starting logging in
Manual Mode.
“Bob” - Select the type of bob currently being used in the unit. An incorrect

“Key” - The checkboxes next to the graph key enable and disable graphing
of the indicated values. For example, to exclude RPM from the graph,
uncheck the “RPM” box. You can also customize the appearance of the lines
on the graph by clicking on the line example on the right side of the key.
“Manual Mode Controls” - The manual mode controls, in the bottom left-
hand corner or the screen, adjust the rotor speed and the temperature while
the unit is operating in manual mode.
“Rotation” - This eld determines the rotational speed. The drop-down
box beneath the eld sets the units to either RPM or 1/s.
