4. You can also set options for a step.
• Increment Temp– adds temperature increments to step with each cycle.
To set the Increment Temp function:
Touch
to shift between “+” and “–” (to increase or decrease temperature
for each cycle), and then enter the number of degrees of temperature in the
textbox. The allowable temperature range is 0.1°C ~ 10.0°C.
• Increment Time – Adds time increments to the holding time within the step
for each cycle
To set the Increment Time function:
Touch
to shift between “+” and “–” (to increase or decrease time for each
cycle), and then enter the seconds in the textbox. The allowable time range is 1
sec ~ 120 sec.
• Slow Ramp – Adjust the heating or cooling ramp rate.

1.4 Set Cycle
1. In the Edit Program screen, select a step that you want to set as the last step of
a cycle.
2. Touch
Goto
and the Cycle Step screen opens.
Note:
The actual maximum ramp rate of heating and cooling varies with block
module type. Refer to the instrument specifications for the maximum value.
If a value larger than the block’s maximum rate is entered, the block’s
maximum rate will be used. If you do not want to slow the running, leave
this option empty.
Note:
Parameters cannot be set that would cause a step to fall outside of the
operating range of the instrument (ie below 0°C or above 99.9°C).
Note:
Parameters cannot be set that would allow the dwell time to fall below zero.
