Abstract
A grinder/polisher comprises a specimen holder, a platen, an actuator configured to move at least one of the specimen holder and the platen, an input device, a machine readable storage device, and a controller. The input device includes a plurality of quick-recall inputs and is configured to receive grinding/polishing parameter inputs representative of grinding/polishing parameters, The grinding/polishing parameters comprise at least two of a cycle time, a platen speed, a specimen speed, a platen direction, a specimen direction, and an applied load. The quick-recall inputs are selectable on a same interface as the user parameter inputs. The controller is configured to save to the machine readable storage device a plurality of user-selected grinding/polishing parameters based on inputs received by the input device, associate the parameters with one of the quick-recall inputs, configure the parameters in response to selection of the quick-recall inputs, and perform an operation according to the parameters.
