This parameter sets the program setting method.
z Related Parameters
• The setting of the Step Time/Rate of Rise Programming parameter determines which segment
parameters are enabled.
The following table shows which segment parameters are enable according to the setting of the
Step Time/Rate of Rise Programming parameter.
*1 If the Reset Operation parameter is set to stop control, segment 0 is always a soak segment. The starting
and ending points are both the SP of segment 0.
*2 If the Segment Rate of Rise parameter is set to 0, the segment will be a step segment.
Set the unit to minutes (default) or hours in the Time Unit of Ramp Rate parameter.
