7 Programming
7.1.4 HOLD Selection also possible using 2
The program holds the temperature at the value which was entered. The program is continued or ended by
pressing .
Note : A program should not begin with a HOLD command and a temperature < 22 ° C because the
temperature-control for the lid will not start. If, for example, 4 ° C is required at the beginning of a program,
HOLD should be connected to the main program via a LINK command (see Sec. 7.6, "Examples of
programming").
HOLD xx ENTER
Permitted values 4 to 99 ° C
Entry increments 0.1 ° C
7.1.5 PAUSE Selection also possible using 3
The program is interrupted and the temperature remains at the value for the last temperature command. The
program is continued by pressing .
A user-defined text may be entered instead of the preset text "PRESS ENTER".
PAUSE PRESS ENTER
Text length 0 to 11 characters
7.1.6 GOTO Selection also possible using 4
To enter data for cycle repeats. It is possible to branch to another program line number (GOTO) where the
program should be continued. The number of times this should be carried out (REP) is also given.
GOTO xxx REP xxx
Permitted values
Program line number 1 to 40
Repeats 1 to 99
7.1.7 SOUND Selection also possible using 5
To emit an acoustic signal (e.g. for displaying a programmed pause or when a program is ended).
SOUND
❋❋
Permitted repeats 1 to 10 tones
7.1.8 LINK Selection also possible using 6
To link up with another program in the internal memory. Via the LINK command, the current program is ended
and the selected program is started. With the aid of LINK commands, a maximum of five programs may be run
in succession. The CNTRL, Lid, NOWAIT/WAIT, AUTO/FIX commands in the program head are not taken into
consideration during the subsequent programs.
It is not possible to branch to programs in the processing level ("Edit") or on the personal card using LINK
commands (it is possible from the personal card to programs in the internal memory).
LINK
❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋
Permitted number of programs 5
The name of the program to be called up must be entered (select letters using the key). If the name of
the program itself is entered, the program goes into an endless loop and can only be cancelled by pressing
"Stop".
