6.1 Entering a Ramp/Soak Program
Ramp/Soak programs are created and edited from the program Entry screen. The program Entry screen can
also be accessed directly from the
“Program” menu or “Program Operation” button on Loop and Overview
screens. To create an automatic ramp/soak program:
1.) From the File pop-up menu, select
“New” to create a new program.
2.) Enter
or delete steps by pressing the “Insert” or “Remove” icons. Steps can be added or deleted “on the fly”
as required. Inserting steps anywhere within the program will not affect steps already programmed.
3.) For each step, press any row in the loop list view to set the time, loop set points and jump settings. Simply
slide the list up or down to view more data like any standard smart device.
Press any button in the “Event”
list to turn the event output on or off for the program step. If soak or wait for conditions are required press
the button for the desired type and make the necessary entries.
4.) From the File
menu, select “Save” to save the program.
NOTE: Programs can be saved with names of up to 16 characters long. However, MCT only uses the
first 10 characters of the program name for display updates and record keeping. When naming
programs, try to keep the name limited to 10 characters in order to have the full program name
shown, or use the first 10 characters as a means of more clearly identifying the program when
more than 10 characters are used in the name.
