2.3 Program Startup

This section will start the SID-142 and run the SQS-142 deposition control program.

Power On the
Computer

Move the rear panel power switch on the SID-142 to the On (|)
position.

Start the
Program

The SID-142 will boot Windows from the internal hard disk and
start the SQS-142 deposition program. If the SQS-142
program does not start automatically, use the touchpad to
double-click the desktop icon.

User Login
Screen

The SID-142 displays a progress bar during program startup,
then a User Login screen. Select a User Name from the drop
down box, enter the Password, then click OK.

The SID-142 ships with one pre-assigned user. The user
name is Super, with no Password. Depending on the access
level of the selected user, a different set of program functions
will be available. See Chapter 3 for more information on users,
passwords, and access levels.

Process
Database

The SID-142 normally starts with the last active process
database. If that database is not found, a Database Open
dialog will be displayed. Use the touchpad to navigate to the
desired database.

Main Display

The main display shows a set of labels associated with the
function of the six SoftKeys. As you operate the SID-142,
these labels will change to display appropriate functions.
Along the top of the display is a menu of less commonly used
functions. This menu is available only when the SID-142 is
stopped (i.e. not running a deposition process).

Simulate Mode

Simulate Mode allows you to familiarize yourself with SID-142
operation, and test process recipes. If the first SoftKey is
labeled “Start Simulate” then the Simulate mode is active.

If the first SoftKey is labeled “Start” then normal mode is
selected. Use the touchpad to select the Setup menu, then
click System. Click the Simulate option button on the System
tab. With the touchpad click the “Save” SoftKey label, or press
the top SoftKey to activate simulate mode.
