Configuration
Settings which generally apply to all methods, or which
usually do not change often, are called configuration
parameters. A typical example of a configuration parameter
is a gas type. Selections for configuration can change the
parameters available in methods, or prevent (in some cases)
a method from running. For example, the selection for
carrier gas control mode, when available, changes the
parameters available for all methods used on the HS.
Similarly, the HS changes the available configuration choices
based on installed accessories. For example, adding a carrier
gas EPC module accessory automatically adds new
configuration choices. See Table 11.
