9.5Running Controller Ramp and Soak Cycles

To run a multi-step ramp and soak recipe based on the values stored in the controller:

1.Select the controller by clicking on its image in the main graphic display. The border of the controller will be highlighted.

2.Select Controller Start Recipe. The function will be invoked. Note that if the Recipe Option is set to ÒSingle-Step RampÓ or ÒDisabledÓ, then the multi-step ramp function is not available. In these cases, using Controller Start Recipe will invoke the single-step ramp function. (If the Recipe Option is set to ÒDisabledÓ, the CN8-SW software will display a confirmation message before executing a single-step ramp based on the one minute default ramp time.)

When a controller is executing a ramp/soak step based on values stored in the controllerÕs parameters, the PV will alternate with ÒrSÓ on the CN8-SW main display to match the controllerÕs front panel display.
