Chapter 3 SQS-142 Software

3-2

3.1 Installation

The SQS-142 install program is available on CD-ROM or 3 ½” diskettes. The 3 ½”
diskette install is also available by copying the contents of each of the CD-ROM “Disk”
subdirectories to blank 3 ½” diskettes.

To install the program, start Windows, then insert the disk or CDROM into your
computer. Click Start, then Run, then type <d>:Setup (where <d> is the drive letter you
are using). Click OK to begin installation, and follow the on-screen prompts. When
installation is complete, you should restart your computer to load any new Windows DLL
and OCX support files.

The SQS-142 software can simulate deposition for demonstration and tutorial purposes.
However, an SQM-142 deposition controller card must be installed to actually read
sensors and control a source supply. The SQM-142 card can be installed before or
after the SQS-142 software. Consult Chapter 4 for SQM-142 card installation
information.

3.2 Operation

To start the SQS-142 program, click Start, Programs, Sigma Instruments, hen SQS-
142. The SID-142 displays a progress bar during startup, then a User Login screen.

Note: The SQS-142 software ships with one pre-assigned user. The user name is
Super, with no Password.

Select a User Name from the drop down box, type in the Password, and then click OK
to start the program.

If your software is configured for keyboardless operation, an on-screen keyboard will
appear as shown below. If the on-screen keyboard appears, use the mouse or
touchpad to “type” the password, then click Enter. See the section System Setup,
SQM-142 Setup later in this chapter to enable or disable the on-screen keyboard.
