XTC/C - XTC/2 Operating Manual
2.9 Operation as a Multi-Layer Controller
This instrument can be programmed to execute a series of up to three of the
stored films in a repetitive sequence. This sequence of films is called a
PROCESS. A separate START command is necessary to initiate each layer of
a process. This command may be initiated from the front panel switch, through
the rear panel I/O or through the computer interfaces.
2.9.1 Defining a Process Overview
A process is programmed by moving the cursor to the LYR parameter when the
display is in the program mode. The LYR parameter value is visible any time
the display is in the operating mode.
When the LYR parameter is selected; the segmented digit immediately to the
right begins to flash. Entering a digit between one and nine will designate the
FILM associated with that number to be the film first executed in the
PROCESS. Upon entry, the selected digit will become static and the second
segmented digit will blink. Entering a second (or even the same) number will
establish the second layer of the PROCESS. Now the third digit will flash,
entering a third number will complete the process sequence.
A PROCESS sequence may be altered any time the keyboard is unlocked or
through the various computer interfaces.
NOTE: If a zero is entered for the second or third layer, that layer(s) will be
skipped. The first layer must be a non-zero value.
