9.5 Logic Statement Example
The logic statement capability of the IC6 allows for automation of a thin film
process. For example, it is possible to start a process without manually pressing
START. One way to accomplish this is:
IF: PROCESS END ANY AND LAYER END ANY
THEN: START
The STOP can be added to assure that the process does not start again if it was
stopped.

STOP, then press RESET.
