+Each row in the table is one program.
+Click on row to show an interactive graph representing the temperature curve of the 
+program. One program is up to 8 segments. Each segment has a slope (degrees pers second until target temperature level) and a horizontal section(dwell time at target temperature level).
+Drag nodes in the graph to edit parameters and the table will update automatically.

-* r-columns are rate in degrees C/second.

-Each program has 8 steps.
-If rate is 0.0 this means STEP which ignores the rate slope and goes straight to dwell time.
-If rate is -0.01 this means END which makes the program end at that step.

 The PC410 controller can also chain programs together but that is not implemented here yet.

 The IR6500 has 9 program slots but since I haven't been able to figure out how to select or know which slot is selected over the serial interface all read/write operations work on the currently selected slot.
