The objective lens is defined to be in focus where the machine finds the minimum beam diameter. This program can also be used to observe the depth of focus of a certain condition file. '''The SFOCUS''' subprogram does not work well for currents above 6 nA, why SFOCUS is deleted in 'daily' routines of condition files with currents larger than 6 nA.

-|This subprogram measures the distortion of the beam deflection 7 x 7 positions within the main writing field and generates a distortion correction table. The program sets the distortion directly below the beam (center of the field) to zero. The distortion correction memory in every position in the main writing field is generated by a linear approximation based on the 7 x 7 table. For 0.2 nA or 2 nA, a reasonable convergence value is e.g. 6 nm.

+|This subprograms scans the DRIFT mark. The DRIFT mark can either be a BE mark or an alignment mark on the substrate. By scanning the DRIFT mark during exposure, the machine can positionally adjust the exposed pattern during writing, i.e. positional drift due to cassette heat-up or warm-up during writing can be corrected. This is done by using the the path DRF5M in the jdf-file.

The size and workpiece position of the substrate (e.g. 4B) should be entered along with information of desired area to measure height. This area should always be larger than the area of the exposed pattern. The system will focus the beam to the average of the height mesaured in HEIMAP, but '''only''' if you expose in mask writing mode (i.e. no aligning) and execute HEIMAP in your initial calibration (e.g. by using path DRF5M).

When SETWFR has succeeded in finding your global marks, it will give you a corrected offset, that should be entered in your sdf-file.
