Programming is enabled in the normal display mode. When the DCP552 is not in the normal mode display, press
the DISP key to invoke it. Programming is simpler if you set down the objectives of the program on a program
work sheet before you start programming.
NOTE
For ease of use, please enlarge the copy of the DCP551/552 Program Work
Sheet located after page 12-18.
■ Selecting number of program to operate
Numbers can be selected in one of two ways.
• before programming
• during programming
● Selecting program number before programming
Press the PROG key in the normal display mode in the READY mode. When the
program number starts flashing, use the PROG key or the ↑, ↓, ←, or → key to
select a number.
Handling Precautions
Program numbers cannot be selected during external switch input.
See “Section 6-3 Selecting Programs” (page 6-11) for details.
● Selecting program number during programming
Press the FUNC and PROG keys in program setting state so that the program
number starts to flash. Use the ↑, ↓, ←, or → key to make the desired changes
and press the ENTER key to enter them. Note, however, that you must after
exiting the registration state (when set values flash) with the ENTER key, press
the FUNC and PROG keys. When programs are selected in this way, the pattern
items are displayed on the programming map.
This allows you to select a program number of a program other than the one
processed in the RUN mode. It also allows you to select the number of another
program using the external switches.
