Working with the AVS 470 Viscosity Measuring Unit
5.1
Introduction
The AVS 470 Viscosity Measuring Unit including the ViscoPump II module are controlled by the operating
software of the AVS 470. The measurement values determined by the ViscoPump II module are received
and evaluated by the software. the results may be output on a printer (Report) and shown on the display.
The user can store the various measurement parameters of a method. Below please find a description of the
functioning and operation of the software. The selection from the various options is done using the cursor,
followed by a depression of the "Enter" key.
