9.1.1 Simple Local Program Example

The following temperature test routine uses basic temperature control commands including controlled and maximum rate ramping and temperature hold (dwell):

Using Probe 1 for control...

Use 5 minutes to ramp from ambient to 45.2/C

Hold 45.2 for 2 minutes

Use 2 minutes to ramp to 32.3/C

Hold 32.3/C for 6 minutes

Go to 50.1/C as quickly as possible

Go to -10/C as quickly as possible

Hold -10/C for 3 minutes

End program

The following is the exact key sequence for entering this routine as a program into

C4 program memory:

Set the C4 to Program mode by setting the rotary MODE switch to the PROGRAM position.

If you wish to erase any programs already in memory and start with “clear” reinitialized program memory, press CLEAR/PROG CLEAR/PROG

The table which follows shows how to enter all of the data for this program. There are shortcuts that can be used to save some time when entering program data. The shortcuts are shown in the next table. If you are not familiar with C4 programming, be sure your understand all of the entries in the first table before attempting to use the shortcut method.
