8-24 Beginning Programming
Placing Patterns
Patterns, as explained in “Building a Program” earlier in this chapter, are essential building
blocks of complex dispensing processes for workpieces. In this exercise you will learn how to
create a simple dispensing pattern and place it on a workpiece at multiple locations.
For this exercise, you will create a simple L-shaped underfill pattern and place it on the
workpiece Tutorial Board. You will perform a wet dispense.
?NOTE If you are performing this tutorial during a new programming session, review
Chapter 1 - Getting Started and Chapter 6 - Setup and Configuration.
