XTC/3 Operating Manual

R12. . . . . Zero thickness. Simulates remote input or front panel ZERO keystroke.

R13. . . . . Final thickness-end deposit trigger. Simulates remote input.

R14. . . . . CrystalSwitch. Equivalent to front panel XTSW keystroke.

R15. . . . . XTC/3S only. Enter communication I/O mode — See R16 (Only applies

when in communication I/O mode)

R16. . . . . XTC/3S only. Exit communication I/O mode — See R15 (Only applies

when in communication I/O mode)

R17. . . . . Set (close) relay xx (xx = 1-12) (Works also in XTC/3M if that output has

been selected as "Computer Contl" type)

R18. . . . . Clear (open) relay xx (xx = 1-12) (Works also in XTC/3M if that output

has been selected as "Computer Contl" type)
