4.7 Save or print measurements
4.7.1 Internal memory
The ViscoClock plus has an internal memory (clipboard) for up to 99 measuring results.
Every carry out measurement is saved in this memory and remains intact even after the supply voltage is
disconnected.
The number of saved measured values is shown on the left bottom part of the display (E).
Only after measurements are exported to a USB drive or printed by the user using the <SET>
key (see subsequent sections), this memory will be deleted.
In order to manually delete this memory, hold the <↓> key for at least 3 s.
The measured value counter (E) starts to blink.
Now, you can delete the memory using the <START> key.
The deletion of the memory can be seen by the display showing "00".
If the internal memory is full, newly taken measurements cannot be saved.
The log file (CSV) on the USB drive is not affected by this restriction. In case of 10 or less memory slots,
there will be a reminder (Code: 0x20003001), which must be confirmed by pressing <SET> or <START>.
Now, it is recommended to export the results (see the following possibilities).
4.7.2 Create PDF document
The measuring results saved in the internal memory can be saved to a USB drive as a PDF document.
A recognized USB drive is displayed via a respective symbol (G) in the lower status bar.
In order to create the document, press the <SET> key.
The file name will be marked with the current time as follows:
("VCplus_JJ_MM_DD_hh-mm.pdf")
After successfully saving the PDF document, the internal memory (clipboard) is deleted. A later printout of
these measuring results from the ViscoClock plus will not be possible. However, simultaneous saving and
printing is possible (see 4.7.4).
If a USB drive is connected to the ViscoClock plus, the results are written to a CSV file directly following
each measurement: "VCplus.csv". The data can be directly processed further by means of a table
calculation program. New measured values are attached to the end of the existing file.
A measurement is only logged in the CSV file, if the ViscoClock plus is connected to a USB drive. A later
writing from the internal memory to the CSV file is not possible.
