Manually changing tube calibration constants

If you discovered any errors in the values of the calibration constants (see

previous section), follow the directions in this section to manually correct

them using calibration information previously obtained for your unit. If

the calibration values are correct, instrument setup is complete.

NOTE

This procedure for manually entering/changing calibration constants

bypasses the normal calibration procedure. To ensure the most accurate

viscosity readings, CANNON

Instrument Company recommends that the

instrument be calibrated per the calibration procedure outlined in Chapter 3.

1. Log in as a Manager and click Configure from the VISCPRO

bar.

2. Select your instrument from the list of available instruments.

3. Select Calibration from the list of configuration options. The

Calibration window will appear (see next page).

The Calibration window provides controls for calibrating each bulb of

any viscometer associated with your instrument. You can click on the

bulb spin controls

to display current constants and valid check

standard data available for calibration of each bulb.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the spin controls for Bulb are set to “1”:

This corresponds to the bottom bulb in the tube.

2. Check the values for the calibration constant(s) as they appear at the

bottom of the window:
