RATIOED to each other and will constitute the ENTIRE mix
except for space needed for Regrind and Additives.
ADDITIVE; all the materials that are added to the NATURALS only; color,
stabilizer, slip agent, etc.

_CS (Set AUTOMATICALLY when you enter settings)
_CS parameter stores the current setting that has been entered
through the KEYPAD, "SET" function, for this component. You could
change it here, but the SET routine is the proper way to alter this
number.
This parameter can also be set to ASSIGN this component to one of the
three THUMBWHEEL switches. This also is normally done in the SET
routine by using the SET key followed by a letter key (A,B, or C).
When set to 10000, 20000, or 30000 the component will follow the TOP,
MIDDLE, or BOTTOM thumbwheel switches respectively. The SET routine is
the proper way to assign thumbwheels.
In the special case when there are four components, and two or more are
naturals, then one NATURAL can have its setting calculated
automatically, based on the other natural settings, so that all natural
settings total 1000. This is done by setting the CS parameter to
40000. This allows four components to be controlled by only three
thumbwheel switches, three assigned, and the forth calculated
automatically by default.
If this is a four (or less) component system, then you are using this
software because your components are not NATURAL, REGRIND, COLOR and
ADDITIVE. Our standard "FOUR" software handles that combination in a
simpler, more straightforward way. See KEYPAD, STAR FUNCTIONS, *04 for
a rapid way to set up your system for 4 or less components.

_AL (Sets alarm functions)
_AL Alarm FLAGS. When material runs out, or for some other reason
material does not dispense fully, these flags will instruct the
controller what to do.
00000 = no alarm, no pause in process, no retries. This is sometimes
useful for a Regrind dispense.
00001 to 00009 = sound alarm after specified number of retries and
continue retries until successful. The process will not continue
until the fault condition is corrected. The last digit
determines the number of retries before sounding the alarm. This
is appropriate for all important and necessary components.
00011 to 00019 = sound alarm after specified number of retries but then
stop the retries and continue with the remainder of the cycle.
The alarm will continue until the fault condition is corrected or
until the next cycle begins. The last digit determines the
number of retries before sounding the alarm. This would be
appropriate if you wish to make several attempts at a dispense,
