The detector runs the method and shows time passing in the TIME field. The detector
runs the first Step in the method. When that Step is complete, the detector automatically
runs the next Step. The detector repeats this process until all the Steps are run. While the
method is running, the detector status changes from READY to RUNxx (where “xx” is the
current step number). When the detector is finished running all of the Steps, the detector
status changes to READY and the display returns to Step 1.
