Command Description
Refill Valve Refills the DP Series Dispensing Valve.
Set Valve Speed
If not grayed-out, opens a dialog box in which you can set valve speed
parameters. Inserts a "Valve Speed" command into the program. The
"Allow Variable Valve Speed" option must be selected in the Valve
Settings dialog box (Configuration > Setup Valves > Edit > Settings
Tab) for this feature to be active.
Verify Dot
Opens a Teach Window where you define dot verification parameters
and insert a "Verify Dot" command into the dispensing program.
Verify Model
Inserts a "Verify Model" instruction. This instruction is used in
conjunction with the system variables "Verify_Model_Found" and/or
"Verify_Model_Score_Percent". When selected, the operator will be
requested to teach a model using the camera, typically of a die or part
that has not been dispensed on. When the program executes, an
attempt to find the taught model will be made.
Begin Flow Read
Inserts a “Begin Flow Read” instruction into a program. This initializes
the flowmeter reading process.
End Flow Read
Inserts an “End Flow Read” instruction into a program. This terminates
the flowmeter reading process and quantifies the flow between the
Begin and End of the flowmeter reading process.
Save Image Save a bitmap image of the camera view to the hard drive.
LUC Model Find Inserts a LUC MODEL FIND instruction into the user's program.
Abort Program Aborts the currently running program.
Stop Program Inserts a “Stop” instruction into the program.
Check Heaters
Opens a dialog box to select which heaters to verify. The command
verifies that specified heaters are in range (setpoint).
6.4.7 Procedure
Clicking the Procedure button opens a dialog box, which allows you to create a procedure. A
procedure is a series of commands. The commands generally contain setup and maintenance functions.
No dispensing or fiducial instructions can performed in a procedure. The procedure can then be executed
from your program by inserting a call instruction. Once a procedure has been created, it can be used in
multiple programs.
6.4.8 Motion Commands
Clicking on the Motion Commands button inserts a motion command into your program. Motion
commands are used to move the needle/nozzle or camera during a program. Typically, motion commands
are inserted into the Main Program rather than into a pattern.
You will access the following drop-down list of motion commands:
•
Move X,Y - Moves the needle/nozzle or camera to a defined location relative to the origin of
current pattern.
•
Move Absolute X,Y - Moves the needle/nozzle or camera to a defined location relative to
the machine origin.
•
Move Absolute Z - Moves the needle/nozzle or camera to a defined Z-axis height.
•
Goto System Location - Moves the needle/nozzle or camera to the Purge Station, Scale
Station, or any other designated location.
