Quick Start
2.1 Introduction
This chapter will provide a general overview on how to setup the SQS-242 
deposition control program.
1
Power On the Computer.
2
Start the SQS-242 software from: Start Menu >> Programs >> INFICON >> 
SQS-242 Codep.
3
User Login Dialog Box
The SQS-242 displays a progress bar during program startup, then a User 
Login dialog box. Select a User Name from the drop down box, enter the 
Password, then click OK. See 
for more information
on users, passwords, access levels, and registration.
NOTE: The SQS-242 software has one pre-assigned user by default. The user
name is Super, with no Password.
4
Process Database
The SQS-242 normally starts with the last active process displayed. If that 
process is not found, a Database Open dialog is displayed. 
5
Main Display
As you operate the SQS-242, the six SoftKey labels along the left of the dialog 
box will change to display appropriate functions. 
Along the top of the display is a menu of less commonly used functions. This 
menu is available only when the SQS-242 is stopped (i.e., not running a 
deposition process).
6
Simulate Mode
Simulate mode allows you to familiarize yourself with SQS-242 operation and 
test process recipes. Simulate Mode will be used for the remainder of this 
chapter.
If the first SoftKey is labeled START SIMULATE then the Simulate mode is 
active. Otherwise, click the Edit menu selection along the top of the display, 
then click System. On the Card tab, click the Simulate button. Select the 
Close SoftKey to activate Simulate mode.
