SQM-242 CoDep

3.1 Introduction

The SQM-242 CoDep program illustrates most of the capabilities of the SQM-242
card. It is intended as a learning tool for new users, and a programming example
for interfacing to user applications.

3.2 Main Dialog Box

With no cards installed (or with two SQM-242 cards and an SAM-242 card
installed) you will see the dialog box shown in

Figure 3-1

. The number of "output

frames" shown will change depending on the number of cards installed in your
system. For example, with only one SQM-242 card installed, the main dialog box
shows only two output frames.

Figure 3-1 SQM-242 Codep Main Dialog Box

Each output frame corresponds to a physical output on an SQM-242 card. In

Figure

3-1

, the first three outputs are each configured to use quartz sensors to measure

rate and thickness.

The frame labeled "Gas Flow" is a little different. This output uses an analog input
on the SAM-242 card to control backfill gas. The SAM-242 card can use any analog
voltage for control. More about this feature later.
