3.2 Manual Mode Operation

This section describes how to program and perform a run in manual mode.

In the Manual mode the user can program and start a single step method with a
minimum number of keystrokes. This single step method is not stored in
permanent memory; however, the run parameters are kept in the flash memory
until the PowerPac is turned off. This allows repeating the same run without having
to re-enter the values.
