F Relationship with
the number of
steps
F When the rate of
rise is set to "0"
4--10
When the number of steps is set to an odd number, the final soak time
cannot be set. For example, if we set the "number of steps" parameter
to "7", the "soak time 3" parameter cannot be set even though the "tar-
get SP 3" and "rate of rise 3" parameters can be set.
Accordingly, when the number of steps are set to an even number, the
final step is a soak step. When it is set to an odd number, the final step
is a ramp step.
Number of steps = even number
When "rate of rise 0 to 7" parameter is set to "0", the ramp step is
skipped and the soak step appears to be continuous.
