All of this is done in the Voggenreiter controller

go into Profile and set a ramp, for instance
- 10 mn to reach 10 bars,
- 60 mn for 30 bars,
- and finally 2000 mn at 30 bars as final step
go into Settings
- check Data storage and that you have a .dat log file
- make sure that the ckeckbutton save is selected
go into Controls,
- Active distance control should be On,
- Hold follow should be Hold position,
- Hold position ramp time should be in agreement with compression times you chose in pofile, 4200 sec for 70 mn, for instance,
- End value is the position that differentials rams should go to, to be determined with Jeremy.
Go into Profile
- Menu PLC controller
- Download profile to controller
- Menu PLC controller
- Run continue profile
Go into Controls, activate Ramp On/Off

The press should be going up in pressure...

If you are at pressure and want to start a deformation....

Open the application: press monitor
Open the Controls tab
- Look at differential rams in Control tab
- choose end value and time
- example: remove 0.350 mm in 2h for 1 to 3.10-5 s-1
Open the Profile tab
- Suspend profile in PLC Controller menu
- remove about 2% of pressure on main ram over 2 hours, plus a long plateau afterward
- Download profile in PLC Controller menu
- Run profile in PLC Controller menu
Back to differential rams in Control tab
- Active distance control should be On,
- Hold follow should be Hold position,
- Select Ramp to start deformation

You are good to go.
