Ignition Page

The Ignition page is used to specify the operating conditions for the torch lighting sequence. The conditions for each step of the torch lighting procedure are displayed on the page. The steps involved in the ignition sequence are displayed in the order in which they occur in the rows of the table: purge, stabilization, ignite, run.
