6.1 General description
Programs are created step by step in the pro-
gramming mode. Programming parameters have
to be entered for each station individually. For
that purpose, the cursor is moved to the cor-
responding data entry position with the ARROW
buttons. The actual parameters are entered with
the PLUS / MINUS keys. All entered parameters
are memorized immediately.
The TP1020 has a memory capacity of 9 programs.
Each program can be set up and edited by the
user.
Programs nos. 6 to 9 have already been set up ex
works. Programs nos. 6 and 7 contain a short-term
or long-term program for one tissue basket each.
Programs nos. 8 and 9 contain a short-term or
long-term program for two tissue baskets each.
These programs can be edited.
