Terminal device and RF power supply device
There is provided a terminal device for displaying status information of a plurality of RF generators. On a display screen, numerical values of a specific item of the status information are displayed as figures having different lengths, and values of another item different from the specific item are displayed in at least one of color tones, patterns, or shapes of the figures, and when the specific item is a frequency and the another item is a phase, output powers of the plurality of RF generators are displayed as figures of bar graphs over the frequency, and phases of the RF generators are displayed in at least one of color tones, patterns, or shapes of the corresponding figures.
1. A terminal device for displaying status information of a plurality of Radio Frequency (RF) generators, wherein the status information includes an output power and a phase, comprising:
a display screen;
a controller; and
a memory storing instructions thereon, the instructions when executed by the controller causing the controller to:
display, on the display screen, the output power of an outputted RF signal of each of the plurality of RF generators as a figure of a bar graph over a frequency;
display, on the display screen, the phase of the outputted RF signal of each of the plurality of RF generators by a color tone of the corresponding figure; and
change the color tone of the corresponding figure displayed on the display screen according to a change of the phase of the outputted RF signal of each of the plurality of RF generators.
2. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the controller further cause the controller to:
display, on the display screen, a progress of impedance matching with a load;
display, on the display screen, a bar graph at a start of the impedance matching and a bar graph at a completion of the impedance matching; and
display, on the display screen, a line graph indicating frequency fluctuation during the progress.
3. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the controller further cause the controller to:
display, on the display screen, a selection screen on which the specific item of the status information is selectable.
4. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the controller further cause the controller to:
display, on the display screen, a set value set by an operator when the figures are displayed.
5. An Radio Frequency (RF) generator comprising the terminal device according to claim 1 .
6. A terminal device for displaying status information of a plurality of Radio Frequency (RF) generators, wherein the status information includes an output power, a phase, and a frequency, comprising:
a display screen;
a controller; and
a memory storing instructions thereon, the instructions when executed by the controller causing the controller to:
display, on the display screen, the phase of an outputted RF signal of each of the plurality of RF generators as a direction where a figure is placed on circles;
display, on the display screen, the output power of the outputted RF signal of each of the plurality of RF generators as a position where the corresponding figure is placed on the circles; and
display, on the display screen, the frequency of the outputted RF signal of each of the plurality of RF generators by a color tone of the corresponding figure; and
change the color tone of the corresponding figure displayed on the display screen according to a change of the frequency of the outputted RF signal of each of the plurality of RF generators.
7. The terminal device of claim 6 , wherein the instructions when executed by the controller further cause the controller to:
display, on the display screen, a selection screen on which the specific item of the status information is selectable.
8. The terminal device of claim 6 , wherein the instructions when executed by the controller further cause the controller to:
display, on the display screen, a set value set by an operator when the figures are displayed.
9. An Radio Frequency (RF) generator comprising the terminal device according to claim 6 .
