Generator screen – overview of the nine program generators
This overview shows the following information for all activated program generators:
•
Function: program generator (or current program) or fixed-setpoint generator
•
Current program section of first program channel
•
Remaining running time of program or of current cycle (in case of a program repetition)
To select a program generator, touch the relevant box. Program generators shown on a gray
background are switched off and cannot be selected. The colors of the background and fore-
ground – except for gray – can be configured for each program generator (central processing

The "Start/Stop" and "Info" tabs always relate to the selected program generator.
If only one program generator is switched on, the Start/Stop screen of the relevant program
generator is displayed in place of the overview.
