There was a zero drift... the mfc should have been reading zero flow but sometimes is would drift to 0.1 or 0.2. There was never any gas flowing but the programmer is set to alarm if the mfc sees a flow when it should not see one. Last week the mfc was replaced but this did not solve the problem. Our local vendor (Tylan/Tystar?) is currently burning a new eprom that we hope will eliminate the problem. We will update you when we have more info on this annoying problem. -m -- maurice at stanford.edu Maurice Stevens Stanford Nanofabrication Facility CIS Room 142, Mail Code 4070 Stanford, CA 94305 P.
