Control Loop Quality Limit
This parameter is used to set a threshold on acceptable control loop quality. When the threshold is
exceeded a sensor fail condition is assumed and the system will process this condition as configured. A
programmed value of 0 disables this test. A value of one gives the tightest limits (5%).

XTL STABILITY
Select Value; Range 0 - 9
Units None
Crystal Stability Limit
This parameter is used to set a threshold on acceptable sensing crystal performance. When the
threshold is exceeded a sensor fail condition is assumed and the system will process this condition as
configured. A programmed value of 0 disables this test. A value of one gives the tightest limits.

XTAL LIFE BOUNDS
Percentage Value; Range is 0.0 - 100.0

Crystal Life Limit
This parameter is used to provide a setpoint on the allowable sensing crystal usage. This setpoint
may be utilized through the I/O system as a warning or interlock that sensing crystals need attention.
____________________________________________________________________
The following three parameters are used to select the data type and scale factors for the RunTime
screen graphics area. These parameter values are always reinstated when a film is started.

Parameter
PLOT VERT SCALE
Vertical Scale;
Select Specific Values 1/5/10/50/100
Units Å/s or % Power as selected
Vertical Scale RunTime Display
This parameter sets the vertical scale factor of the graphics display on the RunTime Screen. If
Rate deviation is the type of data being displayed, generally setting this value to 10 will give a good display
of the deposition control.
____________________________________________________________________
Parameter
PLOT HORIZ SCALE
Horizontal Samples; Range is 1-600
Units Samples Per Display Point
Horizontal Scale RunTime Display
This parameter sets the horizontal sweep rate of the graphics display on the RunTime screen.
Samples are taken at a rate of 4 per second. A programmed value of 1 will display every sample. The
X-axis is 200 samples wide on the RunTime display. By increasing the sample number the sweep rate is
slowed down. Proper selection of this number allows an entire deposition cycle to be displayed on one
sweep of the screen, if desired.
