2.3.1.3 CHANNEL Display

The CHANNEL display (shown in

Figure 2-8

) provides information about the

specified channel. The rate, thickness, power level, state, state time, and run time
are all updated once a second. Near the bottom of the display is a graph that
provides an analog display of the rate deviation from the desired rate, while the
channel is in a Rate Control state. Alternatively, the graph can display the percent
power being output during a process. The SCALE and SCAN RATE parameters
control the meaning, scaling and speed of the graph.

On the top right of the display is a general message area. This area displays
information that is not channel specific, such as indicating that the instrument is in
TEST mode The region adjacent to the graph displays channel specific status
information,. For a complete list of error and status messages, see
