3-2 Tour of Fluidmove
Simplified Setup/Configuration Routines
Dispensing systems are complex and must be calibrated with the process you are performing.
In addition, process programmers require a different setup procedure than a production
operator.
FMW allows you to set up programming options and preferences such as measurement,
workpiece alignment, fluid setup, operator and access levels from the Main Window. Also,
from this menu, a Master Offsets routine prompts you through initial system and software
calibration for the Height Sensor setup, Camera Offset, Purge Station and Weigh Station
locations, making initialization fast and easy. The Production Window also has a Setup menu
designed for use by production operators. Manual setup options are also available for specific
setup tasks, giving the operator quick control over all production functions.
Advanced Programming Menus
The Programming Window is specifically designed to make programming intuitive and easy.
The programmer is prompted through workpiece and fiducial setup. Logical tool bars and
menu icons for common commands simplify keystrokes. In this window, the programmer has
access to all machine controls, fluid control parameters and timing parameters, and can use
them in the process program. Wet and dry dispensing runs can be performed in the
Programming Window.
SPC Data Logging
For production run statistics, FMW can collect board tracking data, production lot tracking,
flow rate calibration data and fluid lot data. The information is collected in an ASCII format
data file which can be read by the standard Windows 3.x and Windows 95 text reader
application “Notepad”, or any editor program capable of opening ASCII files.
On-line Help
Like all true-Windows software packages, FMW has a standard On-line Help system
accessible from all menus and dialog boxes. Context-sensitive Help directs you to the help
topic associated with the current dialog box. The On-line Help Topics include General Help
for FMW, on-line Tutorials, and a list of all Automove Control Language (ACL) Commands.
