4. You can optionally assign a Status Tag to monitor the status of the recipe
downloads and uploads.
You can now add ingredients to the recipe.
Add Ingredients to a Recipe
A recipe can hold up to 50 ingredients. Each ingredient is created as a separate
row in the recipe table. When you create a recipe, a row is automatically added
for the first ingredient. Each recipe must have at least one ingredient.
Follow these steps to add ingredients to a recipe.
1. Select a recipe in the Recipe List.
2. Click the Add Ingredient button for each ingredient you want to add to
the recipe.
3. For each ingredient:
a. change the name of the ingredient if necessary.
b. select the tag to store the value of the ingredient.
c. select a numeric or string data type for the ingredient.
d. enter a minimum and maximum value for the ingredient if the data
type is numeric.
e. enter a value for each ingredient.
IMPORTANT
From firmware revision 4.011 onwards, recipe names and recipe
filenames are restricted to only English characters (alphanumeric and
certain special characters). If you use non-English characters, you will
not be able to save the recipe. This does not affect the usability of the
recipe, it can still be downloaded to the terminal.
This limitation is due to the new feature that allows you to edit the
recipe name in the terminal, which supports only English characters on
the terminal keyboard.
If non-English characters are used, the field is outlined in red and the
OK button is grayed out.
