OPERATION

This section is designed to help first time user of the PM-700 Series Plating
Monitor to become familiar with viewing, programming and editing of the
monitor parameters.

First, refer to Figure 7 Front Panel Buttons on page 19, locate the four arrow
buttons and study their functions. Next, refer to Figure 6, Parameter Menu
Layout, on page 6 and study the way the menus and parameters are laid out.
Notice that the SELECT buttons (left and right arrows) are used to move
horizontally through the parameters. The two MODIFY buttons (up and down
arrows) are used to vertically step through the menus or to change a parameter
value. Note that these arrow buttons have auto repeat functions. If one of them is
pressed and held down it will scroll to the ultimate limit (i.e. if you are at a
parameter with a numerical value, pressing and holding down the MODIFY UP
arrow will ultimately increase that parameter value to its maximum limit).

PM-700 Series Plating Monitor are shipped with Process Number 2 as the default
process. Process Number 1 may be programmed to your specific plating process
if you requested Maxtek to do so at the time you purchased your monitor. The
following table is a list of parameters default values for Process Number 2. Use
the four arrow buttons you have just learned above to step through the parameters
and check their default values against the list. Also, practice changing some of
the parameter values to get a feel on how to modify them. There are four material
parameters that could be reset to their factory set default values. If you wish to do
so, simply press the STATUS button while both of the Up and Down arrow
buttons are depressed.
