5.5.10.8. Prediction
One of the most impressive software features is the Prediction tool. This tool enables the
user to change a zone temperature value or the conveyor speed and predict the outcome
of that change. Prediction is easy to use and a valuable command that quickly defines
process parameters.
To use the Prediction Tool machine information must first be set to build an accurate
“model” of an machine (oven) environment. As experience with modeling grows, the first
values selected may need to be modified accurately reflect the process. Refer to topic
Software>Menus>Machine>Set Machine Information.
This is available when in Engineer Mode.
To predict results:
If Zone temperatures are not set, the Prediction tool will not work.
1) On the Tools menu, click Prediction and the Prediction pallet appears.
