For details, see below. ● Jumping to a different Chain Each Chain can contain up to 64 Steps. However, if you want to make more than 64 Steps, you can use the Jump function which allows you link the currently edited Chain to a different Chain. Set the TYPE to "JUMP" then set the desired Chain number for the Jump destination in the right column. 1 STEP Indicates the Step number. You can use the checkbox when you want to group a few Steps together. For details about Step Grouping, see page 134. NOTE • Keep in mind that only the checkbox of Step 1 cannot be entered.
