MENU: Pgm Options
The menu option “Pgm Options” enables the user to specify if each step in a program
sequence should wait for the Plate temperature to equal the Set Point temperature for
the program step before beginning to decrement the step timer. If the option is set to
“no”, the step timer will begin to decrement immediately when the next program step
starts. This means that the transition time required to go from one step temperature to
the next will be included in the step time.
The Program Option setting is global meaning that it applies to every step in the
program. It is not possible to specify that some steps “wait” and other steps “don’t wait”
within a program sequence.
See Appendix A for examples of defined the program steps and the effects of using the
global Program Option and Timer Option settings.
