Editing Configurations

3.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Configuration Editor and how to use it. The Editor is
constructed as a Main Page (see

Figure 3-7 on page 3-5

) which provides access

to separate pages for each of the parameter groups within the Configuration. The
Configuration is separated into the following parameter groups:

Š General Parameters, which are grouped under System Parameters. See

section 3.4, Editing the General Parameters, on page 3-9

for details.

Š Input Names, which are considered System Parameters. See

section 3.5,

Editing the Input and Output Names and Output Types, on page 3-10

.

Š Output Names and Output Types. These are also considered System

Parameters. See

section 3.5, Editing the Input and Output Names and

Output Types, on page 3-10

.

Š Logic Statements. See

section 3.6, Editing Logic Statements, on page 3-14

for information on creating Logic Statements.

Š Hardware Parameters, which are edited, queried and sent on a per Channel

basis. See

section 3.7, Editing Hardware Parameters, on page 3-22

.

Š Process Parameters, which are edited, queried and sent on a per Channel

basis. See

section 3.8, Editing Process Parameters, on page 3-23

for details

on editing Process Parameters.

NOTE: Please refer to the Cygnus Thin Film Deposition Controller Operating

Manual (IPN 074-379) for technical details on the operation and
parameters of the Cygnus Controller. No detailed information specifically
for the parameters is provided here.

NOTE: Each Editor page provides buttons that allow for changes to be sent to the

controller (if attached), saved or cancelled. The Save functionality on each
page does not save the Configuration to disk, it only saves the parameters
to the computer memory (referred to here as the Editor memory) and to the
Main Page of the Editor. To save the Configuration to disk, use the Save
button on the Main Page of the Editor. To send the entire configuration to
the Cygnus controller, use the Send All button on the Main Page of the
Editor.
