4.3 Power Supply Connection

The connection to your evaporation power supply is done through a 1/4” Stereo Phone
Jack on the SQM-142 card. There are 2 control voltages on this connector, as shown in
the figure below. The ground is common to both channels. Power supply input
connectors vary. Consult your power supply manual.

4.4 Demo Programs

The CD-ROM supplied with each SQM-142 contains three demonstration programs:

SQS-142 Demo is a demonstration version of the SQS-142 software described earlier
in this manual. It is fully functional with two exceptions: 1) it operates only in Simulate
mode, it will not actually take readings from an SQM-142 card; 2) it will not
communicate with a PLC for digital I/O.

SQM-142 VB (SQM32.EXE) is a basic deposition control program, complete with Visual
Basic source code. Operation of SQM32.EXE is explained in the on-screen tool tips
and help file.

SQM-142 LV is a LabView program that demonstrates techniques for communicating
with the SQM-142 card using LabView.

4.5 SQM32C.DLL

SQM32C.DLL and VSQM32D.VXD are Windows programs that provide access to all
SQM-142 card functions. Both files should be copied to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory.

SQM32C.DLL can be used by C/C++, Visual Basic, and LabView. The CD-ROM that
accompanies the SQM-142 contains a text file that gives the syntax for function calls to
SQM32C.DLL
