Loops Segments
A Loop Segment goes back to a specified segment in the current profile. This action is
repeated for the required number of times (1 to 9999) before the profile continues onwards.
More than one Loop Segment can be used in a profile, but they must not cross.

Figure 40. Run/Hold & Hold Segments
A Hold during a segment maintains the current setpoint value. Once the hold condition is
stopped the Ramp or Dwell continues. Depending on the configuration, a hold can be the
started & stopped by via a key-press, breaking the signal to a Run/Hold digital input, a serial
comms command or by the Auto-Hold feature (see below).
Note:
A running profile will also hold while Manual Control is selected.
A Hold Segment is a pre-planned hold, programmed into the profile. It maintains the value of
the previous segment. The profile does not continue until a Continue Trigger occurs. This
can be via a key-press, a digital input signal or after waiting for a time of day (available on
Recorder version only).
