SQC-310 Operating Manual
5.5.1 Process Tree
The Process Tree is displayed in the Instrument window. It can be used to build
processes, add, delete, and edit layers. It is an indented outline (tree view) of the
processes in the current configuration. To name a process, click on an <Empty>
process to open the process name editing window. Processes can be renamed but
they cannot be deleted. Process names can be 16 characters long. SQC-310
always holds a list of 100 processes, even if some are empty. After naming the
process, the buttons on the Instrument window can be used to add layers to the
process. If a process with layers requires editing click the + symbol beside the
process to display the individual layers and films that comprise the process (see
Figure 5-5).
