Many controllers designed specifically for kiln formed glass have programming options such as skip segment, add time to hold, add temperature to hold, suspend, and power tame/power ratio. These enable artists to either modify the program without stopping the firing to reprogram the kiln or to modify the behavior of the kiln itself. Artists are encouraged to check the manual for their particular kiln to see which options they have and how to access them.
