EFFECTS ON THE RUNNING TIMEBASE DISPLAY
The timebase display in Monitor mode no longer counts up time from start of cycle after
the system starts to loop. Once it passes the point from which it must loop back, it
displays the time flow within each loop. Once it has finished looping it continues to
count up time from the beginning of the last loop.
The need for calculation can be removed by changing the basis of timing to a segmental
one,
but it is no panacea. However, if you would like to explore this system variant please
contact Service Dept or your dealer.
NESTED LOOPS
The following shows an example of the use of nested loops. When this program is run
it causes the temperature to return to 25°C (point 8 in the diagram) at 9 minutes 40
seconds after the start of the cycle, not at 2 minutes 20 seconds as listed.

CALCULATION FOR SUCCEEDING EVENTS
event statement time = event actual time - total looping time
The "total looping time" is the time to execute the loops as defined by LS & Rep.
In the above example it comprises:
(segment 2 is the first segment looped back TO)
