A.1.5 Run Menu
1. Go - Executes the current program. If Dry Mode is not
active, fluid will be dispensed. When the run is
finished, a dialog box opens indicating how much time
the run took to complete.
2. Dry Run
- A simulated run that checks XY positions
only for the current program. The Dispensing Head is
not lowered to the substrate and no fluid is dispensed.
The Camera acts like the needle, tracing the pattern so
you can check locations.
3. Wet Run
- Executes the current program, dispensing
fluid during the run.
4. Pass Through Run
- No dispensing is performed. The
part is conveyed through the system as if it were in
production mode.
5. Stop
- Stops a production run. The current board is dispensed before the system stops.
6. Pause
- Pauses a production run. The current board is dispensed before the system pauses.
7. Single Step
- Executes the current program one step at a time, stopping after each step to allow you
to check accuracy and to edit the program if necessary.
8. Abort
- Stops a run completely after executing the last command it received before receiving the
Abort command.
9. Run From Cursor
- Allows you to place the cursor anywhere within a dispensing program and
execute only the commands below the cursor location. The Run From Cursor feature works best if
used in the Main Program or Workpiece Pattern. Complex programs may not work correctly if the
cursor is placed inside repeated patterns, loop instructions, or conditional statement blocks.
10. Manual Board Load
- Allows you to manually convey a board or part into the dispensing system.
11. Manual Board Unload
- Allows you to manually convey a board or part out of the
dispensing system.
12. Manual Board Index
- Manual Index Feature notifies specified conveyor that Manual Index for
large boards is used for conveyor FW.
13. Dry Mode
- Ensures that no fluid is dispensed during a run. Activating Dry Mode and then clicking
on
Go has the same effect as Dry Run.
14. Run To File
- Collects all system information during a run into a file so you can review each step
of the process line by line. This file produces both dispense.out and .dbg files.
15. Disabled Instruction Mode
- Run Feature that has an option at program start: a) not check for
disabled instructions, or b)warn the user that disabled instructions exist, or c) abort program when
disabled instructions exist.
16. Demo Dispense Mode
- When this feature is active, the needle will trace the pattern, simulating
actual dispensing, but no fluid is dispensed. A check mark appears in front of this menu item
when active.
