Programming Loops
The COPY function key is used to copy information from one loop to
another. (Also, if a Ramp/Soak table is constructed for the loop, it will be
copied as well.) To begin the COPY operation, first place the cursor on the
loop which will be copied. Once the cursor is positioned, press the COPY
(F4) function key.
After the function key is pressed, the following prompt will appear on the
screen:
COPY FROM LOOP AND R/S {loop number} TO: 01
The cursor will be on the number of the destination loop, which appears at
the right of the prompt. You should next type the number of the destination
loop over the number given on the screen. If you do not wish to continue
with the COPY operation, use the ABORT (F1) function key. This will allow
you to terminate the operation and return to the original menu from which
the COPY operation was begun.
Once the destination address is typed, press the Return key to begin the
operation. The loop will be copied to the specified loop number unless a loop
already exists at that number. In this case, the following prompt will
appear:
LOOP DATA {loop destination number} ALREADY EXISTS
The available function keys will change to an ABORT for the F1 function
key and a REPLACE for the F2 function key. The ABORT function key
allows you to enter another destination loop number. The REPLACE
function key will cause the COPY operation to continue, which results in the
information in the destination loop being overwritten by the new
information. After the information is copied, the previous menu is displayed.
The DEL (DELete) function key removes the information for a loop and its
Ramp/Soak table. To begin the DEL operation, first place the cursor on the
loop number to be deleted. Once the cursor is positioned, press the DEL (F8)
function key. This will cause the following prompt to appear on the screen:
DELETE LOOP {number}: ARE YOU SURE
The functions shown at the bottom of the screen will change to a NO for the
F1 function key and a YES for the F2 function key. If the NO function key is
pressed, the DEL operation halts and the previous menu appears. If the
YES function key is pressed, the DEL operation proceeds and the
information is deleted. Upon completion of the delete function, the original
menu appears on the screen.
