See... I didn't get the point across well enough and you got offended... My apologies to you, sir. Your post is very helpful and I agree, not everybody knows how to use a controller. I applaud your efforts to help folks out. Again, maybe it is just me stuck on the title of the thread. After finding out that you can use the ramp to your advantage, you must have had a "doh!" moment, when you realized that a little bit of reading from the get-go could have saved that much more time and opened up even more avenues for efficiency. It just seems like this should have been a "Read your manual.. controllers are awesome!" thread, instead of narrowing it down to overshooting your mark during the temper. I use mine all the time for complex(-esque) programs to do simple things that help me free up time. You can use ramp, alarm, delay, hold, etc... to make things much easier. I often use the delay feature to set myself up for the next day... I can walk into my shop with a program well under way or run entire programs while I sleep and dream of finally dishing out coin for a power hammer. Alarms tell me when to quench, remove or check on my steel. Proper spheroidizing isn't possible without the ramp and hold functions... The list goes on.
To give it perspective, I may have been a little disappointed that you didn't take the opportunity to expand on the subject(especially now knowing you have a programming background) but in no way, am I trying to say that your thread is not appreciated. Much respect, brother.
