5) Specifying settings for STEP (Stepped drying) mode
In stepped drying mode it is possible to specify separate drying conditions for up to a maximum of 5 steps.
Specifying a separate drying temperature and measuring time for each step makes it possible to determine
the optimum drying conditions for any sample type.
In Step 1, timed ending mode must be specified as the ending condition. In Step 2 and subsequent steps, it
is possible to select between either automatic ending mode or timed ending mode.
* If automatic ending mode is selected in Step 2 or later, that step becomes the final step. When timed ending
mode is selected and a value of ‘0’ is specified as the measuring time, the previous timed ending step becomes
the final step.
