screen as shown in the following figure. Next, press the key area that is labeled on the MAIN menu as
NEXT PROCESS’ and sometimes referred to as the ‘NEXT

ACTIVE

PROCESS’ selection. The

numeric entry screen will then appear at which time pressing the needed digit will select the next active
process. Pressing the numeric digit keys allows any value from ‘1’ through ‘9’ to be entered as the next
active process. ENTer accepts the entry, BAK discards the entry, if made, key needs to be pressed. The
active process will be the value at which the digit value is left when ENTer is pressed. The next process
started will use this process number. Press the fixed STATUS key to return to the Run Time screen. If an
attempt to change the active process is made with the instrument in a non-idle condition either a temporary
error message will appear saying ; “INHIBITED: UNIT MUST BE IDLED” or the text UNIT BUSY NA
will appear in the key instead of NEXT PROCESS. When the text "NA" appears on the key, the product is
not allowing the alteration because it would not be desirable to change the process while it is running. The
result of pressing the key when UNIT BUSY NA appears will be an acknowledgement beep only. The
process must be stopped. See START: Reset/Start Process diagram below.





SECTION 3.8

Non-Sequencing Differences

active in a single implicit process.

Note that process related information is not shown on the Run Time screen.


Note that the "Next Process" label has changed to "Next Film" and that the Review Processes key have
been removed.
