same number of troubleshooting runs can follow with the option SmartDefectSkip (5.9.2
General options). However, the time required cannot be concluded therefrom. The option
SmartDefectSkip, for instance, particularly serves to reduce the time required even though
more runs are necessary. Therefore, the value indicated as Time remaining is always crucial for
the time required.
Note: This instruction uses the term deletion process to describe the complete procedure
with all corresponding runs (deletion, verification, troubleshooting).
5.10.7 Interrupting the running process
You can interrupt the running deletion process or the
verification run at any time by clicking [Stop]. A dia-
log window then appears (fig. 12) where you have
the choice to either continue the process (click on
[Continue deletion]) or to abort it completely (click
on [Abort deletion] 5.11.1 User abort). As long as
you select neither option, the current process re-
mains interrupted.
5.11 Termination of the deletion process
5.11.1 User abort
If you interrupt a running deletion process by clicking [Stop] (5.10.7 Interrupting the running
process), you can definitively abort the process in the dialog window which then appears
(fig. 12) by clicking [Abort deletion]. You then obtain a final report (5.11.3 Final report)
upon the prematurely terminated process.
Note: Activating the option SmartDefectSkip ensures that also in case of a premature abor-
tion of the deletion process the highest security level possible at this point is achieved. Ex-
ample: if a deletion process with seven runs is aborted after the third run, the security level of
a deletion process with three runs is already achieved at that point of time.
5.11.2 Regular termination
After finishing all runs (5.10.6 Course of the process) without a premature abort, the deletion
process is regularly ended. You then obtain a final report upon the complete deletion process
in a dialog window (5.11.3 Final report) and, a complete deletion report (5.11.4 Deletion
report), if desired.
5.11.3 Final report
After termination (fig. 13) or the abort (fig. 14) of a deletion process, you obtain a final re-
port in a dialog window with the following information.
