Accessing the Testing Menu on Version 4 Software

Steps:

  1. Identify the Software Version: Confirm that your freeze dryer uses the version 4 software, which has a similar appearance to the version 5 home screen.
  2. Begin the Process: Normally, clicking on the leaf icon at the top left would lead you to the functional testing screen. However, for version 4, it starts a batch.
  3. Select Customize: To reach the testing screen, choose ‘customize.’
  4. Choose ‘Adjust Time’: On the Current Job Temperature Settings page, click on ‘adjust time.’
  5. Navigate to the next page: This action will take you to the Current Job Adjust Times page.
  6. Touch Two Buttons: Press two buttons sequentially – one at the top left and the other at the bottom left, above the ‘enable slow update’ button.
  7. Reach the Testing Screen: Following the above process will eventually lead you to the testing screen. Here, you can run tests on each relay.
  8. Avoid Altering Other Settings: The video advises against changing other settings on this screen, as they could affect the execution of your batch. The presenter concludes by advising viewers on upcoming software versions.
