The Tray Settings: Wash window
Solvent rinse settings
The solvent rinse settings for Solvent A and (if applicable) Solvent B are
determined using the Tray Settings: Wash window. Select a value from
0 to 18 cycles for this option (the “0” setting turns the solvent option off).
These settings determine the number of rinse cycles performed by the
miniAV-X instrument after each test. Higher viscosity materials may
require more rinses. Lower viscosity materials may require fewer rinses,
depending on the effectiveness of the solvent.
Max Solvent fill time(s)
The Max Solvent fill time(s) setting determines if/when the user re-
ceives a screen prompt instructing him to check/refill the external solvent
vessel. Select a value from 1 to 60 seconds for this option. The recom-
mended default is 30 seconds. During this time, the VISCPRO software
monitors the filling of an internal solvent chamber in preparation for
solvent evacuation through the viscometer tube. The default setting
should allow adequate time for the required volume of solvent (approxi-
mately 12 mL) to be introduced into the internal solvent chamber under
normal conditions of vacuum/pressure. If the Max Solvent fill time(s)
setting is too low, the internal solvent chamber may not be completely
filled with solvent in the time allotted and the screen prompt may be
displayed even when the external solvent vessel contains solvent.
