The program is initiated by pressing the
PROG RUN
key. See "Using Pre-programmed Speeds."
SPEED SETS WITH ZERO STEP TIMES
These programs when executed will require that the user press the
ENTER
key to progress from step
to step. On pressing the “3” key in Figure 22 the user is presented with the same screen that he saw
in the above description for finite step programs:
Figure 27
The user inputs his step RPM exactly as he did for finite step time programs above. However, for
time, input 00:00 and press the
ENTER
key. From this point forward, the user will only be able to
enter speeds since each press of the
ENTER
key will advance him to the next step. The
OPTION/TAB
key will not be required. If the user wishes to correct the speed input, continue to press the numeric/
decimal point keys until satisfied. To correct a speed after pressing the
ENTER
key for that step, wait
until the program is complete and then edit the program to correct the mistake. To end a program,
simply enter and accept a step RPM of zero (0) or continue to input step data until the program
reaches the twenty-five (25) step program limit. Speed restrictions/limits are the same as for the
description just above as are the error messages.
EDITING A SPEED SET (PROGRAM)
This item is used to review a just-entered program or to review/modify (edit) a program already
stored in a memory slot. Entry to this method would typically be from Figure 22 after selecting an
“IN MEM” program slot or by pressing the “1” key in Figure 21 having just finished entering a
program. In either case, the user is presented with:
Figure 28
Operation in this mode is exactly the same as for entering a new speed set; all key actions and speed
and time limits are the same. At this point, the user may continue to review/modify the speeds
comprising speed set #3 or elect to print a listing of the speeds in this speed set. To accomplish this,
the user must be in the program Enter/Edit mode; have selected or programmed a speed set which
contains more than two (2) speeds, and then press the
key. If all is well (i.e. satisfied the above
requirements) the rheometer will display:
