If the Power Fails
If a power failure occurs during a run, the instrument attempts to continue the run
when the power returns. The run begins at the first step of the stage where the power
failed.
For example, the power fails during step 2 of the tenth cycle for a stage with three
steps and 20 cycles. After the power returns, the run starts at step 1 of the tenth cycle
and continues for 11 more cycles.
Note: If the time between the initial power failure and the time the power returns is
more than 18 hours, the run is not continued.
