3.4.2 File: Open and Save Database

Open Database: Selects a process database to be used for deposition.
Remember, a single process database may contain an unlimited number of
processes, films, and materials. See

Figure 3-6

.

Figure 3-6 Open Database File dialog

Save Database As: Saves the current process database to disk under a different
name. This is useful for saving the process database to floppy disk (for backup!),
or for making trial changes without affecting your working database. Process
databases are saved in Microsoft Access

®

format.

Once again, a pop-up keyboard may appear. If you want to browse, just select
Cancel from the pop-up keyboard.

3.4.3 File: Data Logging

Logs data from a deposition process to a disk .LOG file. There are four options for
file naming and logging. See

Figure 3-7

.

Log File: Select None to disable data logging. If Overwrite is selected, the last run
of the process is saved as FileName.LOG (where FileName is the name shown in
the FileName text box). Subsequent runs overwrite the log file. If Append is
selected, each run is appended to FileName.LOG. If Run# is selected, each run of
the process is saved as a separate file under the format FileName_Run#.LOG.

Changing Run# on this dialog box will also change the Run# displayed at the top
of the main program dialog box.
