TM-350/400 Operating Manual

4.3.3 DAC

The TM-350/400 has two DAC output channels. One output is for rate and one is
for thickness. Each DAC channel has a selectable range, which is used to convert
the appropriate display to a 0 to 5-volt analog signal (for more information, see

section 7.8 on page 7-4

).

4.3.4 Disable Negative Thickness/Rate Readings

While S16 switch 3 is on, the TM-350/400 will ignore all negative rate or thickness
readings and display these values as 0. Once the monitor measures a positive
change, it will begin displaying the current values in real time. Turning S16 switch
3 off disables this feature.

4.3.5 Allow Crystal Switching to a Failed Sensor (TM-400 Only)

By default, while in the deposit state, the TM-400 will check the state of the backup
sensor before an automatic crystal switch. If the backup sensor failed, the monitor
will keep the primary sensor active, and display an O-Fail error. With S16 switch 4
in the on position, the TM-400 can switch to a failed backup sensor, and still display
an O-Fail error. This can be helpful if the process requires an output to be active on
crystal failure.

4.3.6 Pulse Switch At Thickness Endpoint

While S16 Switch 7 is set on, the source shutter pulses closed (on) for 1 second
once the thickness endpoint is reached. As opposed to the standard operation
where the source shutter relay turns on after pressing Start and remains on until
the endpoint thickness is reached.
