3.4.2 File: Open and Save Database
Open Database: Selects a process database to be used for deposition. 
Remember, a single process database may contain an unlimited number of 
processes, films, and materials. See 
.
Figure 3-6 Open Database File dialog
Save Database As: Saves the current process database to disk under a different 
name. This is useful for saving the process database to floppy disk (for backup!), 
or for making trial changes without affecting your working database. Process 
databases are saved in Microsoft Access
®
format.
Once again, a pop-up keyboard may appear. If you want to browse, just select 
Cancel from the pop-up keyboard. 
3.4.3 File: Data Logging
Logs data from a deposition process to a disk .LOG file. There are four options for 
file naming and logging. See 
.
Log File: Select None to disable data logging. If Overwrite is selected, the last run 
of the process is saved as FileName.LOG (where FileName is the name shown in 
the FileName text box). Subsequent runs overwrite the log file. If Append is 
selected, each run is appended to FileName.LOG. If Run# is selected, each run of 
the process is saved as a separate file under the format FileName_Run#.LOG.
Changing Run# on this dialog box will also change the Run# displayed at the top 
of the main program dialog box.
