A set of fields that display recipe information, such as the standard batch size and the batch unit of measure. The section Recipe Header provides more information about these fields.

Text Editing Box

An area where you can enter text into the spreadsheet.

The Recipe Operations and Recipe Development windows represent the two modes of the Recipe Builder. The Recipe Operations window provides limited control recipe access and is intended for the operator who must download control recipes or override a formula. The Recipe Development window provides full access to all recipes and is intended for the process engineer who must create, modify, and maintain master and control recipes.

The main differences between the two windows are summarized below
