Upload Test Data
1. To transfer the results of the last test from the Model 900 unit to the PC,
click “Utilities”, then “900 Onboard Functions”, then “Upload Test Data”.
2. Click the “Upload” button to initiate the transfer and display the data on
the screen. Each line shows one step of the test.
a. “Temp SP” - temperature setpoint
b. “Time” - elapsed time (in minutes) for the step
c. “Cmd Char” - command character
d. “Gel Time” - gel time set point
e. “Temp PV” - temperature process variable. This is the actual
temperature of the sample
f. “S.S.” - shear stress
g. “Gel S.S.” - gel shear stress
h. “300 RPM DR” - If the “Cmd Char” is “m”, this will show the 300 RPM
dial reading.
i. “600 RPM DR” - If the “Cmd Char” is “m”, this will show the 600 RPM
dial reading.
j. “PV DR” - If the “Cmd Char” is “m”, this will show the plastic viscosity
dial reading.
k. “YP” - If the “Cmd Char” is “m”, this will show the yield point dial
reading.
l. “User S.S.” - If the “Cmd Char” is “a”, this will read the average shear
stress.
m. “RPM” - rotational speed (RPM)
n. “Shear Rate” - rotational speed (1/s)
o. “Viscosity” - average viscosity
3. Click the “Export” button to export the data to a disk le.
4. Click the “Save To Disk” button to save the data to the “Upload Data
