Example:
ReturnVal = SendGetMaterial(MaterialNum) request transfer Material #
do while(ChkCommDone == -1) wait for comm to finish
ReturnVal = Get122Material(&MaterialStruct) MaterialSruct contains info
SendGetRunState
Parameters: None
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.
SendGetRunState is used to retrieve the operating phase of the deposition. This
function must precede the use of GetRunState.
GetRunState
Parameters: None
Return : 16 Bit Integer
GetRunState returns an integer whose value represents the current operating
phase of the instrument, as shown below:
0 = Stopped 8 = Soak 2 16 = Start Next Layer
1 = Crystal Verify 9 = Soak Hold 17 = Crystal Fail
2 = Initialize layer 10 = Shutter Delay 18 = Stop Layer
3 = Manual Start Layer 11 = Deposit 19 = Manual Power
4 = Pocket Rotate 12 = Rate Ramp
5 = Ramp 1 13 = Rate Ramp Deposit
6 = Soak 1 14 = Timed Power
7 = Ramp 2 15 = Idle Ramp
UnitControl
Parameters: 16 Bit Integer.
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.
UnitControl is used to set the operating state of the SQC-122.
0 = Start Process 6 = Start Process 1
1 = Stop Process 7 = Start Process 2
2 = Start Layer 8-30 = Start Process 3-25
3 = Stop Layer 31 = Soak Hold
4 = Start Next Layer 32 = Zero Thickness
5 = Force Final Thickness 33 = Zero Time
