3.4 Executing a Process
Once a process has been defined as described in Chapter 4, it is ready to execute.
 START , pressed once, will start or continue the process from the point
at which it was stopped.
 STOP freezes a process, the status information on the display is maintained
and the control voltage output is set to zero.

RESET , if pressed when XTC/3 is in Stop, takes a process back to
the first layer.
HINT: It may be desirable to execute a new process in TEST (enabled in Process
sub-screen of the General Parameter display, see section 4.4.1 on page
4-19 ) before doing an actual deposition to check correct shutter operation,
sequencing and limits.
The execution of a process is depicted in the following state diagram. (See Figure
3-12 and Figure 3-13 .)
