"Operator" (3/5) dialog box

Dialog 3/5: Select operator for the condition
This dialog page shows the configuration of the condition completed up to this point and permits
entry of the relational operator. In the middle field select the operator that specifies the logic
operation condition of the two operands and therefore defines the condition.
Dialog 5/5: Overview of your transition condition
This page is display once again with the specified information upon completion of the
configuration. You can complete the entry with the "Finish" button. The completed condition
is entered as a result in the "Condition" tab.

"Equation editor" (4/5) dialog box

In this dialog box, you can configure arithmetic expressions in transitions and recipe
parameters of recipe unit procedures (RUPs), recipe operations (ROPs) and recipe phases
(RPHs) in order to calculate setpoints from parameters of the next highest recipe level and
constants.
Permitted operators and addresses
Four basic types of logic (+;-;/;*) are offered for selection as operators. Only floating-point
numbers and integers are available as operands. Parameters from the next highest recipe
level and constants are offered for selection. The neighboring parameters are also available
in recipe procedure elements (RUP, ROP and RPH).
Procedure
1. In the "Enter operation" area, click on the buttons of the desired operator. The "Equation"
field displays "[...] Operation [...]".
2. If you want to expand the equation, select one of the operands [...] in the equation and then
click on the required operation symbol. The selected operand is then expanded by the new
expression.
The rules of arithmetic are adhered to, where necessary the brackets are added
automatically.
3. Click on one of the operands [...] in the "Equation" box. This enables the two boxes "Select
parameter" and "Enter constant" for selecting or entering. Remember the following
representation when selecting parameters
– Parameters from higher recipe levels have the name of the higher recipe level as a
– "Neighboring" process parameters of this recipe procedure element do not have a prefix.
– The prefix is omitted in transitions.
