4.6.1 DESCRIPTION
A ramp / soak profile consists of several groups of parameters: those global to the profile as a unit,
those defined as the "ready state" for the profile, and those specified for each segment of the
profile.
The "ready state" is assigned as segment 0, although it is not an executable segment.
The remaining executable segments each comprise one time period within the profile in which
either a change of setpoints occurs or a single setpoint is held.
