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.
