4.1 Display
The main screen ( Fig. 11) of the ViscoClock plus displays all relevant information clearly on a graphics
display.

Display ViscoClock plus
The flow time (max. 999.99 s) is displayed in large digits in the upper section (A).
Below this, there are important parameters for the documentation of the measuring results,
such as sample and viscosity number as well as the date and time (B to D).
The bottom line is used to display the status information (E to J).
4.2 Keys
The ViscoClock plus is operated via a total of 4 keys:
<START> (16): Start/stop measurement
<SET> (14): Save/print, set/confirm parameters
<↓> (13): elect sample number, decrease parameters
<↑> (15): Select viscosity number, increase parameters
The following sections will show more information about the different key functions.
4.3 Set time / activate sounds
If you press the <SET> key for a long time, you will be in the setup mode.
The selected parameter will blink and can be changed via the <↑> and <↓> keys.
You press <SET> again: the set parameter is taken over and you will get to the next parameter.
After setting the time (D), the last parameter will be the activation of the beeper (F).
If there is no new entry for 8 seconds, the value is saved automatically and the mode will be
exited.
For early saving, press the <SET> key.
A: Measuring time (flow time)
B: Sample number (S=Sample)
C: Viscometer number (V=Viscometer)
D: Time/date
E: Number of measurements (internal memory)
F: Beeper on/off
G: Status of USB memory
H: Status USB printer
I: Status PC connection
J: Detection light barrier:
Status upper or lower light barrier
