Fixed Keys:
Start and Stop Keys
The following 2 fixed keys are used to start and stop a deposition run.
STOP -The fixed STOP key always terminates the automatic operation of the STC-2000A and
brings the source control voltage to 0 volts (0% Power). The STOP key is always active.
START - The fixed START key in the STC-2000A is multifunctional. It is used to Reset and
recover from abnormal Stop conditions (max. power conditions, sensor failure or manual stop button
pushes) along with STARTing or proceeding through the multi-film process sequencing. When the
START key is pushed a menu which defines all the functions of the START key is displayed. The START
key is active during RunTime screen only. See Figure 4.3 for start menu, which appears in what is
typically the graph display area. The START menu is automatically canceled after 15 seconds without
user activity.

Note
[Non-SEQuencing configuration: the boxes now containing “PROC 1: ABRT” and “LAYER #” in Fig. 6.5 will not exist. There will not be a
START key menu. See Non-SEQuencing Section 2.20.]
When the START menu is displayed, press the text box required to select the desired operation of
the start function. Not all selections on this menu are valid at all times. Whether a selection is valid depends
on the state of the STC-2000A. For example, when the unit is first turned on or has experienced an
abnormal stop the STC-2000A is in an error state. The START key is first used to reset the error condition
(RESET/START PROC). This brings the unit to a Process Resting state, at this point the operator has the
option to restart the process from the beginning of the current film (RESTART FILM); to restart the
process at the next layer (NEXT LAYER); or to reset the process to the beginning layer by pushing a
START followed by pressing RESET/START PROC. Once the process is reset to its beginning (which is
indicated by Layer = '#') the process can be started by pushing the START key followed by pressing
RESET/START PROC. Take note of the changing PROC 1: xxxx messages as the start menu is used.
The
BREAK WAIT is valid when the layer sequencing has encountered a WAIT in its process
layer list in the Process menu. (See Section 2.6). Under this condition pushing BREAK WAIT releases the
wait and begins the sequence step. The wait can also be released via I/O or computer interface (see sections
5 & 6).
