7.7.8 More on Multi-Ramp/Soak Programming

7.7.8.1 Overview
A key feature of the Ramp and Soak mechanism is provided by the ability to 'link' ramp/soak segments
together to create a chain of sequences. This allows sequences of up to 792 Ramp/Soak pairs to be
defined. A Ramp/Soak segment is defined as a specified increase or decrease (Ramp) of the process
variable over a set period of time, followed by holding (Soak) the process variable at a fixed level for a
fixed period of time.
