Parameter 6

Rate Deviation

access index:

RDEVTN rate deviation value, +- 0 .. 999.9 A/s, as 0 .. 9999

Value Range

0 To

±9999

Units

10 X Å/s

This parameter returns the current deviation from the programmed rate setpoint. A negative number
indicates the actual value is below the programmed one. A returned number of -123 indicates that the rate
is 12.3 Å/s below whatever the programmed value is.

Parameter 7

Crystal Life (primary sensor)

access index:

XLIFE crystal life value, 0..99 percent., primary crystal.

Value Range

0 To 99

Units

Percent

This parameter returns the percentage of the crystal life that is left on the primary crystal sensor. It is the
same number as on the RunTime display.

Parameter 8

Sensor Channel And Status (active channel)

access index:

XCHNL crystal channel in use.

Value Range

0 To 5

Units

None

This is a composite number where the lsb is 0 for sensor 1 selected, 1 for sensor 2 selected; bit 1 is 0 if the
sensor is not good, 1 if it is good; and bit 2 is 0 if the sensor has not failed, and 1 if the sensor has failed. If
bits 1 and 2 are both 0, this indicates that the sensor status is unknown.

Parameter 9

Crystal Stability Value

access index:

XSTAB crystal stability value

Value Range

0 To 99

Units

None

The tens digit of this number is incremented when the stability level is violated. The units digit indicates
10 x of range violated to get to the next stability level.
______________________________________________________________________

Parameter 10

Process Quality Value

access index:

PQUAL process quality value

Value Range

0 To 99

Units

None

The tens digit of this number is incremented when the quality level is violated. The units digit indicates 10
x of range violated to get to the next quality level.
______________________________________________________________________

Parameter 11

Control Quality Value

access index:

CQUAL control quality, instantaneous

Value Range

0 To 99

Units

Percent

This parameter indicates how good the control loop is. It is the deviation expressed as a percentage of the
setpoint.

Parameter 12

Sample Hold Time

access index:

SHTIME sample hold time

Value Range

0 To 5999

Units

Seconds
