“50 programs × 40 segments” : A program (aka recipe) is a full firing profile you store in the controller. Example: “Glass fuse slow ramp” or “Cone 6 glaze fire”. The spec “50 programs” means the controller can store up to 50 different recipes in non-volatile memory. A segment is one step inside a program. Each segment defines how temperature should change or be held for a part of the run. Common fields in a segment:

1. Target temperature (°C) or target relative (Δ°C).
2. Ramp rate (°C/min) OR time-to-target (min). (Typically you give either ramp or explicit time.)
3. Soak/hold time at the target (minutes or hh:mm).
4. Output setting or power % (optional, for manual control).
5. Aux outputs (fan on/off, flap open, alarm, datalog marker).

“40 segments” per program means each program may contain up to 40 sequential segments. So one program could be:

1. Ramp 50 °C/min to 200 °C, no hold
2. Ramp 3 °C/min to 600 °C, hold 30 min
3. Ramp 1 °C/min to 950 °C, hold 10 min
4. … up to 40 such steps.

This combination (50 × 40) gives great flexibility: up to 2,000 total segments stored across recipes. Digital Display of HMI and Application ... Applications
