Use Manual Batch Mode

When Batch Manager is running in manual mode, any phase in the recipe for any unit or connection allocated to the batch can be run. When a batch is started in manual mode, no equipment is allocated to the batch. An operator must use the Equipment Allocation dialog box to manually allocate the desired units or connections. Any manually allocated equipment must be released manually or that equipment remains allocated to the batch until the batch is complete.

When equipment is allocated, the phases associated with the instance of that equipment that is used in the recipe procedure is available for processing. For process phases, only the specific unit must be allocated. For transfer phases, the source unit, destination unit, and connection must be allocated. The operator must select the desired phase, change the parameter values if desired, and manually start the phase. Several phases can be run simultaneously, if desired.
