differentiation in that if it is followed by two periods, this means that there is no sensor card installed for
this crystal channel, otherwise the presence of 2 zeroes indicates that the sensor card is installed and
enabled (by menu parameter) and in an OFF condition.

general form:

XTAL 1 A91A89 = Crystal 1 started a process as active at 91% life and ended a process as active at 89% life.
XTAL 3 A97F71 = Crystal 3 started a process as active at 97% life and ended a process as failed at 71% life.
XTAL 5 O00O00 = Crystal 5 started a process as OFF at zero% life and ended a process as OFF at zero%
life (00 usually indicates that no crystal is connected).

XTAL 7 O21O021 = Crystal 7 started a process as OFF at 21% life and ended a process as OFF at 21% life.
XTAL 8 O..O..

= Crystal 8 is OFF and has no supporting sensor card installed.



The vital parameters stored and displayed are:

RUN:

Run number - increments at the start of each process cycle (beginning at layer #1).**

DATE:

MMDDYY representation of date the film was started.

TIME:

The time of the start of the run (from the 24 hour clock of the STC-2002).

P TIME:

Process time - the time from a Start initiation to end of the Film Process.

COMPLT:

Mode of completion of the deposition.
NORMAL-

Normal completion of run

TMPWR-

Xtal failure occurred, run completed on time-power *

BADXTL-

Bad Xtal terminated run

REMOTE-

External input terminated run

KEYBRD-

Front keypad STOP BUTTON terminated run
