4 Working with Profiles
The operation of the Q150T is controlled by a profile. This describes the sequence of
operations in sputter coating or evaporation cycles. You can also create profiles to carry
out simple operations such as pumping or venting the sample chamber. Many of the
basic operations such as pumping, outgassing or venting the chamber occur
automatically as does the sequence in which they occur.
The Q150T is supplied with several default profiles to perform the basic and most
common operations (see Table 1). To make your own profiles, customised for your
specific applications, you can:
