4.4. T1, T2 and T3 timer commands. The timer commands allow the user to reset, load,
start and display the timer data. The EPS200 has three process timers: one general purpose
and two high-voltage activity monitors.
Timer 1 (T1) is a user programmable timer that can be used as a countdown timer, when
used in conjunction with the WT command. The resolution of T1 is one second. It has a
maximum time period of 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
Timer 2 (T2) tracks the period the high voltage has been on, since timer 2 was last cleared,
using the C2 command. Timer 2 can be used as a chuck or chamber preventative
maintenance timer. The resolution of T2 is one second. It has a maximum time period of
59,999 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
Timer 3 (T3) is the OEM high voltage on timer. This timer cannot be reset and is used by
the manufacturer for MTBF information. The resolution of T3 is one minute. It has a
maximum time period of 59,999 hours and 59 minutes.
4.4.1. (C1) Clear timer 1. The C1 command resets the T1 general purpose timer to
00:00 and stops it.
Send:
>0 C1 [CR]
Receive:
>0 C1 [CR]
4.4.2. (ST) Set timer 1. The ST command loads the user defined time-out value into
timer 1 and starts the timer. The minutes and seconds entry may be entered as seconds
alone.
Send:
>0 ST mmss [CR]
Receive:
>0 ST mmss [CR]
4.4.3. (RT) Reload and start timer 1. The RT command reloads T1 with the value
previously specified by the ST command and restarts the timer.
Send:
>0 RT [CR]
Receive:
>0 RT [CR]
4.4.4. (R1) Read timer 1. The R1 command returns the time remaining on the T1
timer.
Send:
>0 R1 [CR]
Receive:
>0 12m 34s [CR]
