4.5 EXECUTING A PROFILE
On the 6600, select Function 4: Execute profile. On line 4 on the Main screen, a profile number
is required to identify the profile. This number is x.y where x is the profile number and y is
the point number within that profile. Since a particular point can be specified, the user can
start a profile at any point, not necessarily at point 1. 'x' can have a value between 1 and 15
and 'y' can have a value between 1 and 50.
When a profile number is entered using the ENTER key, the name of the profile will appear to
the right of the profile number and the parameters of the particular point in that profile will
be displayed on the screen in their respective locations. It will appear as if the user had
entered all those parameters from the front panel. The value x.y will flash on line 4 of the
display, indicating that the point is ready to be executed. To execute the point press 'GO'. To
view the next point in the profile press 'ENTER'. As long as the profile point number is
flashing, it will not be executed.
Some of the rules to follow and points to observe while executing profiles are:
1.
Press CANCEL to abort a profile. If CANCEL is pressed while the system is moving
towards a target value, it will continue to do so. Aborting a profile simply allows the
user the freedom to perform all functions possible from the front panel with no
restrictions. Operating within a profile restricts the user to follow the profile
2.
Press GO to execute the flashing profile point. Once the 6600 achieves the state it has
been commanded to go to, it will stay there until the next profile point is invoked
(using ENTER) and executed (using GO).
3.
Press ENTER to invoke the next profile point. All parameters of the point will be
shown on the screen and the point number will flash on line 4. ENTER allows the user
to view an entire profile without executing any point. It also allows the user to skip
certain points if so desired.
4.
The ARROW keys may be used during profile execution to allow the user to jog the
profile's target values.
executing. The existing target value may be jogged up or down in fixed increments as
described in section 3.2.2. The PREV SCREEN key may be used to toggle the Main
screen between the 2-output and 3-output formats.
5.
No other keys are effective. Changing units or modes or target values will require
aborting the profile.
6.
When a profile goes into leak mode, the Leak Screen will be displayed. The profile will
stay in this screen until the user enters CANCEL to exit the leak screen. The 6600
returns to the main screen where the user must press ENTER to invoke the next profile
point.
A new target value cannot be entered while a profile is
