1.5 SEMI E10 Standard
The SEMI E10 Standard is another document published by SEMI. It provides a
guideline for definition and measurement of equipment reliability, availability, and
maintainability (RAM). This document defines six basic Equipment States which
define how equipment time is categorized.
The SECS Interface on the GES-1993 will reflect the current E10 state. These
Equipment States are as defined in the following version of the standard:
 E10-1992 (Section 3, Equipment States)
FmNT does not implement the E10 Standard.
1.6 SECS/GEM Configuration
GWGEM uses a GCD configuration file that defines support for SECS variables,
ALIDs, CEIDs, the names of C-language Primary Message Handlers, application
specific GWGEM Extension Routines and GEM variable Access and Management
Routines([RefGWGEMUser] p 179 ‘GCD Source File’).
The final GEM operational configuration of FmNT is determined by the
GWGEMEXT.DLL and GWGEMMSG.DLL supplied with FmNT. The production
of these program components requires an appropriate GCD configuration file, along
with its resulting source and header files ( built with the GWGEM GCD
Compiler/Translator ) which are compiled and linked into GWGEMEXT.DLL and
GWGEMMSG.DLL([RefGWGEMUser] p 36 ‘GCD Object File’)
