How to Program a New Profile
The Series F4 uses a question-and-answer format
to prompt you to define the steps and step types of
a new profile. Here’s how:
1. Go to the Profiles Page.
Move the cursor to Go to Profiles (at the bottom
of the Main Page), then press the Right Key . .
2. Create a new profile.
Press . .
3. Name the profile.
Unless the equipment manufacturer has locked
out this function, you can name your profiles for
easy reference. (Names can have up to 10 char-
acters.) To name a profile,
• Press . to enter the name space and the
first position.
• Press the Up or Down Key > < to scroll
through the alphabet and choose the letter
or number. (See Chapter 2, Navigation, for
the character selections available.)
• Press . to move to the next position.
• Continue until the name is complete, or
until you move through the name space into
the next screen.
• Enter . to save the name of the profile.
This name will be stored in the Series F4’ s
memory and will appear on the Main Page
when you run the profile.
4. Choose the step type.
There are six step types, each of which must be
defined through different parameters. (See “Step
Types,” earlier in this chapter.)
5. Define each step type.
The Series F4 prompts you to define the param-
eters of each step type. For example, when you
choose Ramp Time, the Profile Guide asks:
• if you want the step to wait for an event or
process input before starting;
• whether events outputs are on or off (digital
outputs must be set up as events in the
Setup Page);
