OV301: Write issue/freeze

Hi E.C. Team, 
(Question probably for Miss. Stacie or anyone that can assist)

I am having an issue with the write function on the CN7-B program freezing.
I know that if the ."Set Value" is set lower than the min oper. temp of 10C,then it will error out (freeze per user manual). So I went ahead and changed all to 20C min to be safe.
I also made sure that the first step started with 20C at 1 min so the CN7-B/PID can calculate the amount of time needed to get to the next step for Ramp prior to soak.  
The lights are blinking on the USB port also so I know its trying to do something. 
All patterns are set to standard patterns for EMP160/EG160/XT135/XC110.

Based on my patterns can you guys see anything wrong? I have tested multiple patterns just to see if it would write.

Side question, what is considered an overloaded oven? 

Any help would be awesome! 
Thanks again guys! 
Mike

With regards to overloading the oven, this is a difficult question to answer specifically. Basically, any large heavy items will cause the oven's performance in terms of heating and cooling rate to be reduced. For example, we sometimes see a very slow heat up and cool down when multiple very large aluminum tools are loaded into the oven.

The other way the oven can be overloaded is when it is loaded in such a way that the airflow inside is restricted. This restriction means that even temperature control becomes impossible. This is sometimes seen when lots of parts are stacked on a single shelf rather than spread over multiple shelves. It is important when loading the oven that there are gaps between all the parts. Bad loading of this type can cause parts to improperly cure.

This makes a lot of sense. I will make sure there is a good amount of space in between each part.
