Claim 11:
12. A method of operating hydraulic fracturing equipment, the method comprising:
determining if one or more hydraulic fracturing stage profiles is available for use in association with a controller in operative communication with one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps, the one or more profiles including one or more hydraulic fracturing pumping stage parameters and a plurality of hydraulic fracturing pumping stages;
in response to a determination that a previous hydraulic fracturing stage profile is available for use by the controller, accepting or amending the previous hydraulic fracturing stage profile as a current hydraulic fracturing stage profile for a hydraulic fracturing pumping stage for the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps, the previous hydraulic fracturing stage profile being accepted or amended during a period of time when another hydraulic fracturing pumping stage is occurring;
in response to a reception of an amendment of the previous hydraulic fracturing stage profile, accepting the amended previous hydraulic fracturing stage profile as the current hydraulic fracturing stage profile; and
in response to a determination that the previous hydraulic fracturing stage profile is not available for use in association with the controller: configuring the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumping stage parameters for the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps for the current hydraulic fracturing stage profile, and verifying that the hydraulic fracturing pumping stage parameters in a current hydraulic fracturing stage profile are correct for use with the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps.
