Introduction
Make sure all the “SP PROG” function prompts under the Set Up group “SP RAMP” have been configured
with the required data.
An “H” appears in the upper display indicating that the program is in the HOLD state. If an “H” does not
appear, go to the SP Program configuration procedure and enable the program instead of disabling.
ATTENTION
For recorders with two controllers (both enabled), remember that any controller-related values
displayed correspond with the lighted CHN indicator. “1” means that the values apply for
Controller #1 and “2” means that the values apply for Controller #2.
