Setting a Segment Setpoint
Use this menu to set a setpoint for the segment you are editing. The
process will go to this setpoint by the end of the segment time.
Selectable Values: -999 to 9999, or Off (no segment setpoint).
Configuring Segment Events
You can assign up to four digital outputs—Events—to each segment.
When the segment ends, the events you select go to the output state you
specify. Use this menu to select events and specify their output states.
Selectable Values: YES or NO.
Starting a segment with an event
If you want a segment to start with an event (usually events happen at
the end of the segment), program the previous segment for the event.
You can also use this trick:
1. Setup the segments that come before the first segment.
2. Setup an extra segment with time 000:00 and with the events for the
first segment.
3. Setup the first segment.
If you also want to have events at the end of the segment, or you want
the event to go off at the end of the segment, setup the first segment with
the desired event number and event output state.
