To use the Shuttle to ramp controller

the drop-down list. This controller type
must be the same as used in the Logging

graph of the number of days versus the
ramping temperature.
To program

number of days
in the Ramping Schedule. (2) Select the
number of temperature divisions. These are
points (days) at which the schedule changes
Ramping Temperature. (3) With the mouse
drag the points to the desired temperature
and day. When all programming options
are complete, return to the Options window
to launch the Shuttle. See Section 8.1
The following parameters can be set using this window:
Days – The time period over which ramping is desired.
Divisions – The number of points (days) in the ramping schedule at which the slope of
the ramping curve changes.
Target, Day – As the mouse is moved over the Ramping Schedule, this field shows the
day and the temperature calculated in the Ramping Schedule corresponding to the mouse
position.
After saving a
program, the Save
Program icon
will appear in front of
the controller type.
