Recipe
The Read Recipe command returns all configured recipe parameters for a desired recipe number. The number of
the recipe to be read is the only argument.
Example: Read Mix Unit #1 Recipe 5 data as it is currently configured with Color = 3, Catalyst = 2 (34), Color Flush
Sequence = 1, Catalyst Flush Sequence = 4, Mix Ratio Set Point = 3.25:1, Potlife = 35 min, and Mix Pressure
Tolerance = 30%.

Sequence
The Read Flush Sequence command returns all configured parameters for a desired flush sequence. The number of
the flush sequence to be read is the only argument.
Example: Read Flush Sequence 1 as it is currently configured with Gun Purge Time = 20 sec, Initial Flush Volume =
0 cc, Final Flush Volume = 500 cc, Wash Cycles = 2, and Strokes per Cycle = 1.
