Abstract
The present apparatus is intended for use with a timer for controlling a process having an operating cycle including a plurality of sequential operational steps and for providing at least one preselectable output signal for each such step. The apparatus includes an activator for initiating the execution of a test cycle by the timer, and a test cycle step incrementor for selectively incrementing the timer so as to permit the rapid verification of both the operation of the timer and the accuracy of the output signal for each step.
