Process
Menu
Create, delete, and edit up to 25 processes. Also used to
select the currently active process. When a process is running,
this selection is not available.
Film
Menu
Create, delete, and edit up to 25 films. A film is basically a
material, and may appear in several processes.
System
Params
Sets system-wide operating parameters. Also used to “map”
the 8 digital inputs and 8 relays to process functions.
Start
Layer
Each layer in a process can be defined as auto start or manual
start. Auto start layers begin immediately on completion of the
previous layer. Manual start layers wait for the operator to
press the Start Layer SoftKey.
Restart / StartNxt
Layer
During deposition, it may be necessary to halt a layer to correct
a problem. These two SoftKeys allow the operator to either
restart the current layer or skip to the next layer.
Stop
Layer
Temporarily halts deposition. Deposition is restarted with the
Restart or Start Nxt keys.
Start/Abort
Starts or aborts sequencing through the current process layers
and deposition cycles. Abort sets both outputs to zero, and
abandons the current process.
