Programming a Ramping Profile
Our first step in programming is to make a short ramp and soak profile. Step 1
initializes the set point to a known starting point for the ramp, Step 2 is a short ramp,
and Step 3 is a soak step, which holds the programmed set point constant for the
programmed time. Step 4 is an end step signalling the end of the profile.
1. When the lower display reads set point, press MODE once and you see the Prog
parameter. Select YES in the upper display. Press the MODE key once again.
2. The Series 942 asks you for a StEP. The upper display reads (1).
3. Press the MODE key and you are asked for a step type (StYP). The default is
End. Use the UP/DOWN keys to select StPt (set point) then press MODE if it is
not already there.
4. Use Table 4 to enter the corresponding parameters and values. The parameters
appear from left to right on the table. Remember that the MODE key is used to
progress through the menu, and the UP/DOWN keys are used to select param-
eters and values.
This is a sample program. Depending on your application and
parameter settings, your system may not respond like this.
