Use the Initial Delay parameter to tell the system your definition of a stable potential and when to begin the actual measurement. If the absolute value of the Eoc drift-rate falls below the Stability parameter, the Initial Delay phase ends immediately and the experiment begins, disregarding the Time parameter. The drift rate can never fall below zero, so entering a Stability value of zero ensures that the Initial Delay will not end prematurely. A typical value is 0.05 mV/s. The lower limit of the Stability parameter is set by your patience. For example, a stability of 0.01 mV/s indicates a drift of less than 1 mV within 100 seconds.
