X-TRACK : EQUIPMENT SECS/GEM SOFTWARE

( for compliance with SEMI Standards E4, E5, E30 & E37.1
and GEM300 standards E39, E40, E87, E90, E94 & E142.2 )

X-TRACK is a software driver that can be configured to add SECS/GEM capabilities to an equipment. It is designed to run quietly in the background while maintaining full SECS logging for the purpose of traceability.

X-TRACK’s behaviour is controlled by XML-based configuration files through the selection of specific SECS/GEM functionalities to be implemented; definition of associated variables, alarms, terminals and parameters; linking of variables to reports; and linking of reports to events.

Deploying the configured GEM-compliant equipment is then simply a matter of feeding appropriate data into the variables defined in X-TRACK for communication with the host computer.
