1. Pause On Layer Complete (Yes or No)

This parameter determines whether the controller will pause between layers. If

his parameter is set to Yes then the controller will stop on layer complete and

controller will automatically increment to the next layer.

2. Thk Graph Scale (2-digit, 3-digit)

This parameter defines whether the rightmost 2 or 3 digits of thickness will be
graphed.

4.3.3.2 PROGRAM INPUTS

The controller has ‘logical’ discrete inputs which are used when running a
process, and ‘physical’ discrete inputs at the rear-panel connector pins which
