Cygnus 2 Operating Manual
3.3.9 Logic
100 logic statements can be set up. Logic statements are evaluated sequentially,
10 times per second, while Cygnus 2 is powered up.
See Chapter 8, Logic Statement Set-Up for programming details.
3.3.10 Maintenance
The Maintenance display is organized into two subscreens: Source Maint(enance)
and Sys(tem) Status.
See Chapter 10, Maintenance and Calibration Procedures for programming
details.

3.3.13 Programming Guidelines
1 Define Materials.
To define Materials, the MATERIAL pages of the MATERIAL screen are used.
Each of up to 6 distinct Materials used must be defined. The Material definition
includes rate, density, Z-ratio, tooling, soak power settings, thickness,
RateWatcher, rate ramps, time limits and whether to STOP on max power.
Control loop characteristics also relate to the Material. Also, one Source and
one Sensor are automatically associated with each Material, for example
Source 1 and Sensor 1 are fixed to Material 1, etc. up to Source 6 and Sensor
6 for Material 6. See Chapter 5 for a detailed description for programming these
parameters.
2 Configure General parameter information.
The final step in defining a process is to program the parameters on the
GENERAL display. This includes the Process Thickness Equations, DAC
voltage and polarity, Communication parameters, User Messages, Date/Time,
Test mode, Lock Codes and Audio Feedback as well as LCD Dimmer time. See
Chapter 6 for a detailed description of General parameters.
