timing criteria. In its simplest form this can be one profile made up of
multiple segments.
Each segment relates to a temperature point
(setpoint) that needs to be reached and held for a desired amount of
time. The different segments in a program may include; Ramp, dwell,
step, loop, hold and jump segments. A basic form of profiling is also
avail.

In
a programmable temperature controller, the programs are also referred
to as profiles and recipes. There are a number of programmable
temperature controllers available which can store multiple ‘recipes’
allowing the programmable controller to be used for a variety of
processes e.g heat treatment of metals and composites. With some
instruments it is possible to set the programs (profile, recipe) to be
joined and/or repeated.
The complexity of your temperature control process will dictate how sophisticated the programmable controller needs to be.
