aintaining the power level, a large deposition thickness can be achieved
with one crystal. The primary sensor must have an individual shutter for the rate
sample feature. The default for this parameter is 100% which enables sampling at
all times.
45. Sample Period (0 to 9:59:59)
The Sample Period parameter defines the sample period. For example, a sample
time of 5 minutes and a dwell of 40% will result in the crystal being sampled for 2
minutes, then the crystal shutter is automatically closed for the remaining 3
minutes while the deposition power is kept constant. Please note, once the crystal
shutter has opened, there is a 5-second delay for crystal stabilization before
easuring.
