40 steps are approximately equal to 1 cm.
Sliding rear offset
This offset controls the position at which the holders slide inside the furnace.
Increasing the value will cause the holders to stop later, away from the user (i.e.
deeper in the furnace cavity). Typical value is around 150.
Decreasing the value will cause the holders to stop earlier, closer to the user.
40 steps are approximately equal to 1 cm.
Door offset
This offset controls the position at which the door motors stop the closing motion.
Typical value is around 1000.
Increasing this parameter forces the door to try to close further down.
Beaker pos(ition)
This parameter controls how far back the holder will slide when
the user presses on the "beaker loading" icon.
Increasing the parameter will cause the holder to move closer to
the furnace, to allow for easy beaker loading.

Cam assisted

This parameter controls how the door motors are powered, and must be set
strictly according to the installed hardware on your machine.
The parameter must be set to "ON" (green light) on recent units, where a
cam/lever system is fitted in the back of the furnace.
The parameter must be set to "OFF" (red light) on older units, which had 4 springs
and no lever.
(When the parameter is set to "ON", power to the motors will automatically be
removed when the door closes.)
Movement
testing
To check that the parameters entered and sent work correctly, it is possible to
start motions independently.
The <> button
This button starts the rocking motion, using the parameters (speed and
amplitude) of the step 4 of the current program.
The C button
This button starts the pouring motion (i.e. it rotates the crucibles forward to the
pouring angle).
