5-2 Startup/Shutdown
Production Startup
The following procedure describes how an operator runs a dispensing program with a clean
fluid pump and/or a new syringe. The procedure assumes that the pump and syringe have
been installed on the dispensing head, and that a dispensing program has been created (using
either FmNT or CAD Import) and saved on the computer hard drive. For more information
on creating and running dispensing programs, see the Fluidmove
®
for Windows NT
Installation & User Guide and the CADImport for Windows Installation and User Guide.
