The UNIPRO Programmer uses a step/OPCODE approach rather than a segment approach.

The advantages of using OPCODES (operation code) are:

1)only what is to be changed is entered,

2)features can be added to older instruments, and

3)less information needs to be saved for each step therefore more programs can be stored.

The step approach is very similar to what an operator would do if he were manually controlling the process.

Some of the features in the OPCODEs may not be obvious as to how they would be used until more experience is gained. However, with a little practice and experimentation the Programmer can soon be mastered.

Each program in the UNIPRO consists of nineteen steps (one OPCODE per step). Some OPCODEs allow programs to be linked together. The UNIPRO can store up to 200 programs in non-volatile memory.
