algorithms necessary for the initiation, organization, and control of
those operations) executed within a unit. The unit procedure level is a
general term for the level that contains unit procedures in a recipe.
upload
A request from a phase to send data to a batch server.
verification limits
Verification limits are the values against which a recipe parameter or
report value are checked. Three types have been identified: Absolute,
Percentage, and Value.
verification method
An algorithm specified in the equipment editor associated with each
parameter or report parameter. The algorithm specifies what set of
limits are used for each parameter. For example: High-High-High/
Low-Low-Low, High-High / Low-Low, High / Low or None.
verification policies
The verification policies specify the actions that are taken if an entered
parameter or report parameter is outside the specified verification
limits. The current options are: none, require confirm, single
signature, dual signature and not allowed.
verification signature
A new type of prompt that is used to display the deviation information
and request the confirmation or signatures required according to the
configured verification policies.
verify recipe
Process in which a recipe is checked for completion and accuracy.
