STANDARD VI TABLE ANALYSIS
The Viscosity Index (VI) matching sample analysis displays VI data from
samples which have been tested using the Measure Sample Viscosity
sample action option and matched according to user-defined criteria. The
VI analysis displays sample data in a tabular format. In addition to
Sample identification (ID), the following data may be included:
 VI—VI value (always included—precision is determined using the
VI Report tab)
 INV—Invalid test indication (always included—flow time(s) are out
of tolerance and samples will need to be tested again)
 Avg KV—Average kinematic viscosity as calculated at the test
temperatures
 KV40C/KV100C and/or KV100F/KV210F—Average kinematic
viscosity calculated for bath temperatures of 40° and 100°C and/or
100°F and 210°F
 Temp1/Temp2—Actual average bath temperatures
 Time—Time the sample was measured
 Date—Date the sample was measured
 Tube S/N—Tube serial number (from Instrument Settings)
 Technician—Technician name (the individual logged in at the time
the sample run was completed)
Reporting options
The VI analysis presents data for samples residing in the database.
Several powerful filters may be used to create useful reports. These filters
may be used by making selections from the tabbed property sheets found in
the VI Configuration window. Once the appropriate filters have been
designated, the resulting report configuration can be saved for future use.
Configuring the standard VI table
For general information on using analyses, see Chapter 6. To access and
configure the Standard VI Table, follow the procedure below:
1. Select Analyses from the VISCPRO
®
primary menu options.
2. Select View Analysis ... from the Analyses menu. The Choose
Analysis window (see figure, next page) will appear.
3. Double-click VI Package from the list of Available Analysis
Packages.
