Creating/Modifying/Deleting Programs
6.1 Creating a New Program
Once a library of cycles is in place, a new wash program may be created. To create a new wash
program, click on any existing program, then right click that program and select Insert program
from the sub-menu. Alternatively, press the insert key on the laptop keyboard. A new blank
program is created at the end of the existing program list. The new program will be numbered with
the next available unused number. If adding a new program to the stock programs, Program 1 will
be found at the bottom of the program list in the programs window on the upper left of the EL6
Win 2 main window. Cycles may be added to this new program by the ”‘drag and drop”’ method:
1. Click and hold the desired first cycle in the new program.
2. Drag the mouse over to the new program (continue holding in the left mouse button).
3. Release the left mouse button when the dragged cycle is on top of the new program (The
program name will be highlighted).
Remember that an EL6 program can contain a maximum of 15 cycles. Unfortunately,
the EL6 Win 2 software doesn’t do a great job of monitoring this limitation. Adding
more than 15 cycles to a program will lead to program corruption and wash program
misbehavior.
This dropped cycle becomes the first cycle in the new program. Adding additional cycles to the
program is the exact same procedure with one exception – when the next cycle is dragged over,
drop it on the last cycle added to the program to add it to the bottom of the list. Otherwise, the
new cycle will land directly below the cycle is is dropped onto. This is useful if a cycle or cycles
need to be inserted into an existing wash program.
