5.1.6 Adding and/or modifying programs
Creating a new program
• Make sure you are logged on at supervisor level.
• In the VIEW/EDIT PROGRAMS screen (
Fig. 45 ) highlight a program as
similar as possible to the program you wish to create. (This minimizes
the number of operating steps).
• Press COPY to copy the selected program. The new program will have
the same name as the program copied, however, the figure "(2)" will be
added to indicate the change.
• Highlight the line containing the new program.
• Press PROGRAM NAME at the top of the table to display the keyboard.
• Enter the new program name.
Editing program steps
• Pressing EDIT (in
Fig. 45 ) calls up the PROGRAM STEPS screen.
• In the headline you will find the PROGRAM NAME.
• The colors on the left border of the table indicate the reagent groups to
which the reagents belong.
• The program steps are displayed in the order in which they are carried
out. For each program, up to 13 steps can be defined.
The following characteristics of each program step can be edited:
• Reagent name.
• Duration of step
(with the exception of fill and drain steps).
• Retort temperature
(if "Ambient" is selected, the display for the retort temperature remains
empty).
• Type of pressure and/or vacuum cycle
• Retort drain time.
• Delay step.
