ROUBLESHOOTING

If you have any communication errors then check the following:

• Make sure the Deposition Controller’s power is on.
• Check the cable connection between the Controller and the computer.
• Make sure that you have the correct communications port selected in the

DCM's RS-232 Setup Screen. Select Serial Port from the Utilities menu to
see the dialogue for this setting.

• Make sure that the Interface Address setting in the Controller is the same

as the DCM.

To test the communications select the Version item from the Process menu. If
there aren't any problems then the Deposition Controller's configuration data will
be displayed.
