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.
The FmNT Main Window allows you to access and setup programming options and
preferences such as measurement, workpiece alignment, fluid setup, operator and
access levels. Also, from the Configuration menu, a Master Offsets routine prompts
you through initial system and software calibration for the Height Sensor, Camera
Offset, Purge Station and Weigh Station locations, making initial setup 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 programming process. Wet and dry
dispensing runs can be performed in the Programming Window for testing and fine-
tuning your dispensing program.
SPC Data Logging
For production run statistics, FmNT 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 text reader
application “Notepad”, or any editor program capable of opening ASCII files.
Online Help
Like all true-Windows software packages, FmNT has a standard Online 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 Online Help Topics include
General Help for FmNT, Online Tutorials, and a list of all Automove Control
Language (ACL) commands.
