Looking to program
Start at ambient temperature and go to 165 hold 165 for 30 minutes then repeat

Waller

My understanding is c1= 60 t1=140 time it takes to hit 165
C2=165 t2=30
C3=165 t3= -1
C29 60 t29=-1

"Start at ambient temperature and go to 165 hold 165 for 30 minutes then repeat"

After one cycle is completed, the temp is still 165. You can still force the set temp from 165 to ambient, but the real temp is still at 165, so it doesn't make sense to me. The controller doens't have a way to actually cool the temp, other than the natural cooling.

Or you can probably just hold at 165 forever.

Other than that, your program looks good to me.

C01 = 60, t01 = 140 //ramp up from 60 to 165 in 140 mins
C02 = 165, t02 = 30 //hold at 165 for 30 mins
C03 = 165, t03 = -1 //jump to step 1, repeat the cycle.

No need to change anything after step 4.

Every time when you power up the controller, if you want to start from the beginning, you can set A-M parameter to 0.
