Watlow F4 Ramping without Profile

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was a way to use the watlow f4 controller without having to make profiles. I am currently using labview for the controller and able to manually change the set point and pid values. I want to be able to have different ramp rates without making profiles. Is there any modus register that is usable or if any idea on to achieve this would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Fishesss,

 

Most of this sounds like device specific so there likely isn't much on just the LabVIEW side to make things happen. I found this forum link that sounds like what you're trying to do:

If Modbus communication is a possible approach, the link below has some information on getting started with that:
