5.4 Program structure
The furnace offers three types of programs:
a.	Standard	programs	for	Ivoclar	Vivadent		materials
b.	Free	programs
c.		Test	programs	
a) Standard programs for Ivoclar Vivadent
materials (see chapter 10.1)
– IPS e.max CAD
– IPS Empress CAD
b) Free programs 
	
All	free	programs	are	available	as	equivalent	
and	thus	fully-fledged	programs.	All	the		
parameters	can	be	individually	set	for	each	
program.
When the furnace is delivered ex
works,	the	standard	programs	already	
contain	the	recommended	material	
parameter	settings.	
However,	the	parameters	can	be	changed	and	
overwritten	at	any	time,	if	required,	if	the		
programs	are	to	be	used	for	other	purposes.		
Therefore,	the	50	programs	are	also	available	as	
free	programs.		
The	programs	are	designed	in	such	a	way	that	
they	can	be	either	used	as	conventional,	one-stage	
programs	or	as	two-stage	programs,	if	required.	
The	mode	can	be	changed	via	the	symbol	(one-	or	
two-stage	program)	by	using	the	+	or	–	key.	
c) Test programs
Various	test	programs	are	available.	Please	refer		
to	chapter	5.5	Settings	/	configuration	and		
information.

Automatic plausibility check
The	furnace	is	equipped	with	an	automatic	plausibility	check	function.	The	parameters	
(e.g.	T	960	but	L	1000)	are	checked	upon	each	program	start.	In	case	of	contradictory	
parameter	combinations,	the	program	stops	automatically	and	the	respective	error	
number	is	indicated.
