How to create very long programs in the DynaTrol?

In the Dynatrol reference manual under SOAK, it states “The control will soak at Final Set Point for up to 99 hours, 99 minutes and can be programmed to hold a temperature as long as 66 days before needing to be reset”. I cannot set this soak time to greater than 99 hours, or 99 minutes. How can I set this for 30 days?

Here is the math:
Each segment in a vary-fire program can have a 99.99-hour hold.  8 segments x 99.99 hours is 799.92 hours.  Divide 799.92 by 24(hours) and you get 33.33 days. You can combine programs 7 and 8 in one 16-segment program giving you a total of 66+ days.

ADDITIONAL NOTE ABOUT THE 16-S COMMAND: If you want to run the two programs (USER 5 and USER 6) back to back and intend them to work as one 16-segment program, make sure that the temperature of the first segment in User 6 is higher than the temperature of the last segment in User 5. If you are trying to go from a higher final temperature of USER 5 to a lower initial temperature of USER 6, the program in USER 6 will not start.

This shows you how to create a really long program with up to 16 segment of control on your DynaTrol program control.
