In-situ Conditioning
Enbl/Dsbl
Conditioning will occur during polishing. ("Outer"
will be used for sweep start and "Two Way" for
sweep style regardless of how they are set.)
In-situ Duty Cycle
If using in-situ conditioning, sets the percentage of
time conditioning occurs during polishing. The
arm is raised
and conditioning is paused the required time after
each complete 2 way sweep to effect the duty cycle.
If the duty cycle is set to 100%, in-situ conditioning
will be
continuous. If set to 0%, there will be one 2 way
sweep after which the arm will raise and pause
indefinitely.
Carrier Cleaning Interval
(Single table machines only) Sets how many
polish cycles can occur before a carrier clean
cycle.
