I need some help programming a Gralab 900. I've got the sequential operation down and can program the different stages of my process into different MemLoc registers and get it to advance itself from one to the next at the end of each timing stage. What I can't get it to do is to get back to the first stage after it's reached the end of the process. If I have a 3 stage process, I can program each time into MemLoc 0, MemLoc 1, and MemLoc 2 respectively. Each MemLoc is configured to go Forward at the end and with Reset. This means it waits for me to push the foot pedal to start the stage in MemLoc 0, runs out the timer and sounds the beep, automatically advances to MemLoc 1, waits for me to push the foot pedal, runs out the timer and sounds the beep, automatically advances to MemLoc 2, waits for me to push the foot pedal, and then runs out the timer and sounds the beep. So far, that's exactly what I want to do. The problem is that it gets "stuck" at the end of the sequence. What I need it to do is to go Forward from MemLoc 2 to MemLoc 0 and wait for me to hit the foot pedal. I can't figure out how to do this. The closest I've come is to program all 8 MemLocs with Forward so that it'll progress from MemLoc 7 to MemLoc 0 but it takes a stupid amount of keypresses to do that. Having to program 5 "dummy" stages into the thing every damned time I turn it on does not sound like something that will be mistake-free or even frustration-free on a regular basis.'
Does anyone know how to get it to either go direct from MemLoc 2 to MemLoc 0 (or just keep going forward and skipping MemLocs 3-7 without having to explicitly program that)?
