1.0 Introduction
Sigma’s SQC-300 series instruments are multi-channel QCM-based deposition
controllers. They provide a unique combination of accuracy and powerful features in a
compact, low cost instrument.
The standard SQC-300 measures up to two quartz crystal sensors, and controls up to
two evaporation sources. Eight process control relays, and eight digital inputs are
included to support a broad range of external devices. The number of sensors, outputs,
and digital I/O can be doubled with an optional expansion card. A co-deposition
software option allows simultaneous deposition of up to four materials. RS-232 and
USB communications are standard, with Ethernet optional.
The SQC-300 series is available in two models, the 5 1/4” high SQC-310 and the 3 1/2”
high SQC-330. Other than a different display and case size, the two instruments are
identical.
Note: The SQC-310 and SQC-330 are referred to in this manual as the SQC-300
series. If there is a reason to distinguish between the two models, the SQC-310 or
SQC-330 model number will be called out.
This chapter will aid you in the initial setup and operation of your system. Please review
