You can collect data records on the Formula™, and send the records later to a host

PC. The number of data records that can be collected before being uploaded are

2500 for each application.

2.2.1 Getting Started

Unless it has been customized, the Formula™ is programmed from the factory for

basic data collection using PALPRO.

NOTE

This chapter describes how to use the Formula™ with its original

PSC programming (i.e. PALPRO). If the Formula™ has been

customized, it may operate differently. Check with a systems

administrator for revised operating instructions.
