Software WinVisco

4.1

Introduction

With the WinVisco 370 software described herein, it is possible to control up to 8 ViscoPump II
modules. The measurement values determined by the ViscoPump II modules are received and
evaluated by the software. The results can be output on a printer (report). You can generate them as a
PDF file or saved in a text file (CSV format). In parallel operation of up to 8 measurement rigs, flexible
and fast viscosity determination is possible. The user has the possibility of storing a variety of
measurement parameters within a method file (Access format). Below please find a description of the
installation, functioning, and operation of the software.
The following description refers to the software version 3.83.00!

Hardware management

4.5.1 Device detection

When starting the software, the connected devices (ViscoPump II) are read by the system first. In
order to check whether the ViscoPump II modules were detected correctly, click on the menu item
"System/Maintance" in the main menu and select the submenu (tab) "Hardware".
When starting the software, the connected devices will be checked.
The devices with their names and addresses should be displayed in the top list (Fig. 6). If you click on
a device in the list, the "Device ID", the "Device Status" and the software version number will be
displayed in the device information. If the devices are not detected, an incorrect COM port may have
been selected. In this case, please select the correct COM port of the computer, which the AVS
is connected to. There are eight COM ports available. After changing the COM port, please click on
"Scan" – the devices connected to this port will be checked again.
