The pressure gauges shall remain to provide for quick visual reference. Vendor shall describe how machine can be operated for both prototype one time jobs without a recipe/program or repeat runs using recipes/programs. Offeror questions received with the Government Responses: Q1) Control requirements listed in 3.3.1 and 3.3.2-3.2.6 contradict each other on some points, please advise.
