When the STC-2000A sensor card control voltage output is connected to the evaporant power supply,
Review Source Sensor Map parameters need to be selected for a proper interface (
SOURCE OUT CHaNneL,
SOURCE FULL PoWeR, SOURCE MAX PoWeR
) and the Map itself needs to be selected by a Film parameter
(SS MAP SELECT). Following this, other power supply related parameters must also be contemplated.
Some thermal excitation alternatives include: electron beam: wire fed electron beam source, high vacuum
e-beam w/ small (~2cc) crucible, fixed pocket (large and small), rotary pocket indexers; resistive heater
sources: metal filament boats, coils, oxide crucibles (all for organic material deposition). Crucible
capacities can range from a fraction of a cc to over 500cc. The input control requirements of the high
current (or voltage) power supply should be found in the power supply documentation. Don't assume there
is a standard. With the STC-2000A control voltage output controlling the power supply for the thermal
sources described above (the 2
nd
control output voltage used for power supply control is typically employed
for the recorder function), the film parameters effecting power (processes depend upon films) are:
Soak 1 Power level Value
0.0 to 100.0%
Power Ramp 1 Time (to pwr level) 0 to 99:59 MM:SS
Power Soak 1 Time (@ pwr level) 0 to 99:59 MM:SS
Soak 2 Power level Value
0.0 to 100.0%
Power Ramp 2 Time (to pwr level) 0 to 99:59 MM:SS
Power Soak 2 Time (@ pwr level) 0 to 99:59 MM:SS
Soak 3 Power level Value
0.0 to 100.0%
Power Ramp 3 Time (to pwr level) 0 to 99:59 MM:SS
Control Loop –P-roportional term 1 to 9999
Control Loop –I-ntegral term
0.0 to 99.9 sec
Control Loop –D-erivative term
