Delay
The Delay Command is used to insert a time delay in a
procedure. You can program a time delay between 0.2
seconds up to 99:99:99 (99 hours, 99 minutes, 99
seconds).
TO INSERT A TIME DEL AY IN A PROGRAM:
1. From the Program Main screen, choose Step
Definition to enter the Step Definition screen.
2. Highlight (select once) the Program Step that you
want the time delay to follow.
3. Choose the Insert Step button to access the
Program Steps Menu screen.
4. Choose Advanced Options to enter the Set
Advanced Options screen.
5. Choose Delay to enter the Set Delay Time screen.
6. Enter the desired Time using the keypad.
7. If the Units of Time associated with Time are not
correct for your application, select the Units button
to toggle between sec (seconds) [0.2 seconds
minimum allowable value] and h:m:s
(hours:minutes:seconds). To use the h:m:s option,
enter your time value in hours, minutes and
seconds, separating each value with a colon. You
can enter a value up to 99:99:99.
8. When your Time entry is correct, choose the
Accept button to insert the Delay Step in the
Program and return to the Step Definition screen.
Repeat Step
The Repeat Command is used to repeat Steps in a procedure
a defined number of times. To use this Command, you will tell
the application what Steps you want to Repeat and how many
times you want them repeated. The Repeat Step command
creates a “jump” back to a specific Step in a Program that
executes the defined Step plus all following Steps up to the
Repeat command (i.e. it creates a Program loop).
When defining a Repeat jump in a Program, the
Command targets the Step sequence position and not the
function that currently occupies that position. For
example, if you create a Repeat jump to Step 4 in a
Program (currently a Ramp Pump Operation Profile) and
subsequently move a Constant Rate profile into the Step
4 position, the Repeat jump will then connect to the
Constant Rate operation and not to the Ramp operation.
TO INSERT A STEP REPEAT SEQUENCE IN A PROGRAM:
1. From the Program Main screen, choose Step
Definition to enter the Step Definition screen.
2. Highlight (select once) the Program Step that you
want the repeat step to follow.
3. Choose the button to access the
Program Steps Menu screen.
4. Choose Advanced Options to enter the Set
Advanced Options screen.
5. Choose Repeat to insert the Repeat Step function
into the Program.
6. Select the Step(s) you would like to repeat from by
selecting the Step button twice or selecting once
and then choosing Accept.
‘INS STEP’
7. Enter the number of repeats using the keypad then
choose the Accept button to save your change and
return to the Step Definition screen.

✐
NOTE: This command creates a loopback to the designated Step in a Program, executing the selected
Step, plus all subsequent Steps up to the point of insertion of the Repeat command. For example, if the
Repeat command is set to repeat Step 2 one time, the system will loop back to Step 2 and execute both
Steps 2 and 3 one additional time.
✐
NOTE: Do not use nested loops (repeat
within a repeat)
