VI DATA EXPORT ANALYSIS
The VISCPRO
®
VI Data Export Analysis provides a convenient
operator interface for configuring Viscosity Index (VI) sample informa-
tion from the sample database for serial output and exporting it in ASCII
text format. The port output filters (Date, Sample and Port Output
Format) permit the user permit the user to select and output desired data
to a file, LPT port or serial port in whatever format is desired.
NOTE
Once the port output analysis has been generated, it cannot be
reconfigured like other VISCPRO
®
analyses. This prevents duplicate
data from being resent to network collection systems your lab may have
in place. To re-send data to the serial port, close the analysis window
(you may save the configured analysis if you desire) and then recreate
the analysis .
Available data for analysis
In addition to the serial transmission, the analysis displays requested
sample data on the computer screen in a tabular format and may include
the following data:
 Smpl ID—Sample ID for sample pair
 VI—Viscosity Index for sample pair
 KV40C—Kinematic viscosity at 40°C for low-temperature sample
 KV100C—Kinematic viscosity at 100°C for high-temperature sample
 KV100F—Kinematic viscosity at 100°F for low-temperature sample
 KV210F—Kinematic viscosity at 210°F for high-temperature sample
 Avg KV 1/Avg KV 2—Average measured kinematic viscosity (KV)
for the low/high temperature sample
 Date 1/Date 2—Date when the test was completed for the low/high
temperature sample
 Time 1/Time 2—Time when the test was completed for the low/
high temperature sample
 Tube 1/Tube 2—Tube serial number (S/N) for the low/high tem-
perature sample
 Bulb 1/Bulb 2—Bulb number (the bulb in which the sample was
run—#1 is the bottom bulb) for the low/high temperature sample
 SUS 100F/SUS 210F—Kinematic viscosity expressed in Saybolt
Universal Seconds (SUS) for the low/high temperature sample
 TempC 1/TempC 2—Bath temperature
 TempF 1/TempF 2—Bath temperature
 Instr 1/Instr 2—Instrument ID (from general configuration settings)
for the low/high temperature sample
 InstrType 1/InstrType 2—Instrument Type (from general configu-
ration settings) for the low/high temperature sample
