Automatic program adjustment
After exchanging programs between different device models, you may need to adapt the
programs to fit varying device specifications.
If the software detects deviations from the device specifications when reading a pro-
gram, the software will automatically adjust this program. The adjustment is carried out
during the editing or starting process of the program.
The software will display a prompt to inform you that certain adjustments to the pro-
gram are required when you attempt to start or edit the program. You have the choice to
either confirm or reject the automatic program adjustment. If you refuse a required ad-
justment, the device will not be able to start this program.
The following table provides an overview of possible adjustments:

Automatic adjustment
A program with temperature op-
timization step (TOS) is trans-
ferred to a device without TOS
function.
The software will take the mean value of the tempera-
tures programmed for the left and right sample block.
The heating and cooling rate is
exceeded.
The software reduces the heating and cooling rate to the
maximum rate that is possible.
The heating and cooling rate is
not attained.
The software raises the heating and cooling rate to the
maximum rate that is possible.
User-defined heating and cool-
ing rate
The software maintains the user-defined heating and
cooling rate.
A program with a temperature
gradient is transferred to a non-
gradient-enabled device.
The software deletes the gradient and applies the aver-
age temperature of the programmed gradient or the an-
nealing temperature for this step.
The gradient is outside the per-
mitted temperature range.
The software raises the lower temperature to the mini-
mum permissible value, e.g. from 5 °C to 20 °C.
The program exceeds the maxi-
mum permissible gradient
range.
The software reduces the temperature range of the gra-
dient and applies the mean temperature of the pro-
grammed gradient or the annealing temperature to do
this.
