Tips for using the USB interface
The USB drive must be formatted in the FAT16 or FAT32 file system.
We recommend using a USB drive. External hard drives without power supplies cannot be used.
During a measurement run, you should not connect or disconnect any USB drives, as the measurement
will be terminated in case of an error.
The ViscoClock
plus
supports only the connection of a single USB memory device.
During the connection process (blinking USB icon on the display), the device should not be disconnected.
During the saving process of data, a blinking USB icon on the display signals the access of the USB drive
to the ViscoClock
plus
.
4.7.7 Idle mode
The ViscoClock
plus
will automatically switch to an idle (standby) mode after being inactive for 60 minutes,
during which the time will be shown on the display. Here, unnecessary components (USB, light barriers,
background lights) are switched off and the power consumption is thus reduced.
You can exit this mode by pressing any key and the ViscoClock
plus
will be ready to use again.
If there is no measurement running, the ViscoClock
plus
can be put into standby mode by pressing the
<START>
key early for a long time.
4.8 Notes and error messages
If an error occurs or if the user is notified of a full memory, the ViscoClock
plus
displays an error message
with a clear symbol. This is displayed on top of the main screen (4.1).
The displayed error code helps localize the problem by means of the error table (see
Use the keys
<SET>
<START>
(16) to close the message.
Severe errors that are not listed and cannot be closed, require a restart by disconnecting the power
source.
4.9 Personalizing the header of a PDF document
The header of the PDF documented created by the ViscoClock
plus
(see
) can be defined by the
user. This way, results can be saved with your company name, for example, in the PDF.
For this, create a text document using a text editor (.txt) with the name "VCplus_header.txt", which
contains the text to be displayed (max. 70 characters) and copy this to a USB medium that you are using
with your ViscoClock
plus
.
If this file is present on the memory device when creating the PDF, its text will be transferred to the
header, otherwise, this line will remain blank.
When replacing the USB device, make sure that this text is not saved in the ViscoClock
plus
, but is
read by the USB drive during each saving session.
