Command Description
Turn off during
fiducial search
This selection turns the heater loop off during the fiducial finding
process. When this feature is active, you can use the Output %
feature to keep the heater warm during fiducial searches to
lessen ramping time when the heater is needed. An Output %
value of 0 turns the loop off completely. To activate this feature,
click the checkbox and enter the output percent.
Turn off if board
not received for
___ minutes.
Turns the heaters off if a board is not detected within the
specified amount of time. This feature also turns the heaters off if
FmXP remains idle (no mouse or keyboard input) for the
specified amount of time. To activate this feature, click the
checkbox and enter the desired time. Click on Apply to All to
enable this feature for all heater channels.
Warn user
___ minutes
before shutoff
Works in conjunction with “Turn off if board not received for __
minutes.” Activate this feature to display a warning and a timer
counting down to when the heaters will shutoff. If time expires
and the warning is issued, the operator has four choices:
Turn heater channel off
Leave heater channel on
Abort production run but leave heater channel on (only available
during production)
Purge valve and resume run (only available during production)
Verify temperature
before initial
dispense
Instructs the system to check the temperature before dispensing.
The temperature needs to be between Set Point - Lower limit and
Set Point + Upper limit before dispensing will begin. If the
temperature is not within the specified Set Point Limit range, the
Pre-Run Heat Monitor dialog box opens indicating the heater
Channel name, the Set Point, and the current temperature.
Time out is the amount of time FmXP will wait for the heaters to
reach the Set Point before a warning is logged to the SPC File
and a SECS/GEM message is issued.
 NOTE Clicking on Apply to All assigns the parameters to all of the active heater loops, but it
does NOT activate these features for the other loops. You must activate these features for
each loop individually.
