on hold. If you press Home when a schedule is on hold, and then

Delete performs several functions:
• Cancels an entry that is in progress and restores the previous value.
• Returns a field to its default value (if an entry is not in progress).
• Deletes a line in a method or schedule. To do this, position the
cursor in the leftmost field of the line that you want to delete and
press Delete twice.
• Deletes an entire method or schedule. To do this, position the
cursor in the method or schedule edit field, or in the time field of
the
INIT step, and press Delete twice.
At power-up, the AS is on hold (the left LED is illuminated). After you
select a schedule to run, pressing Hold/Run starts the schedule (the
right LED is illuminated). When the schedule is complete, the AS
returns to hold. When running, press Hold/Run to pause the schedule.
This button functions only when the AS is in Local mode.
Note: If the wait operation is enabled (see Section 2.7.1
), the AS
pauses when it reaches the wait step in the method. Press Hold/Run to
continue. You can disable the wait (see Section 2.7.4
