Runs like a real machine: mostly normal, with stretches of great, slow, short stops and downtime picked at random.
Unsaved changes
Steps run top to bottom, then start over, forever. Each step is one stretch of running (or stopped) time.

- Speed
- How fast to cycle compared to the job's standard. ×1 = standard, ×1.2 = 20% faster, ×0.8 = 20% slower.
- Variation
- How much each cycle can randomly differ, so it looks like a real machine. ±3% on a 20 s standard = cycles between 19.4 and 20.6 s. 0 = every cycle exactly the same.
- Time
- How long this step runs before moving to the next one. Blank = stay on this step.
Example above: run 20% fast with a little variation for 10 minutes, then go to the next step. The buttons on each step (×1, +20%, −20%, Stop) fill in the speed for you.
