Data Collection Modes

Timed Stop

Data points are continuously taken at the operator defined time interval

Timed Torque

Data points are continuously taken at operator defined time interval until the operator defined % torque value is reached

Spring Relax

Data points are continuously taken at operator defined time interval as the spindle unwinds in a sample

Vari-Speed

A data point is taken when the operator changes viscometer speed

Manual

A data point is taken upon a user button click

Collect All Data

All incoming data from the viscometer is collected
