Program Mode
The program mode changes chamber temperature and humidity according to a user-set program.
This program is created before testing starts. It contains multiple steps. Each step contains temperature,
humidity, and other settings as with the constant mode. Settings can be maintained throughout an entire
step or changed at the constant rate.
