We have returned to the Mode Selection window.

Select <OK>.
We have returned to the graphical programming window. It is from this location
that you will add steps using the <Temp>, <Gradient>, and <Goto> options.
Additionally, buttons running across the window bottom provide options to
<Delete Step>, <Save>, <Save As> or <Save + Run> programs, and <Cancel>
the current programming session.
Using the File Save As Window
The <Save> and <Save As> buttons are probably the most important buttons
in the graphical programming window, since a program that is saved can be
used or edited at a later date.
Please note that a new graphical program must be renamed using the <Save As>
feature prior to initiating a run. “TEMPLATE” is not a valid name nor can a graphical
program with the default name, “TEMPLATE”, be run. This restriction is designed to
ensure that programs are appropriately saved.
•
Select <Save As>.
The File Save As window presents the operator with a space for entering the
program name. The program will be added to the folder indicated in the
Folder field. The <New Folder> button creates a new folder in which to store
your new program.
