script.
Valve Offsets
: This is an on-screen prompted setup routine that identifies
and records a Safe-Z height, the XYZ locations of the Purge and Weigh
Stations, locates the needle, finds the substrate height, and calibrates the
camera crosshair to known locations. This routine is performed when the
dispensing system is initially installed and configured. You should also
perform a Valve Offsets before production runs.
Calculate Master Offsets
: This routine performs the same function as Valve
Offsets. Calculate Master Offsets can only be performed on M-600 Series
Dispensing Systems equipped with a Needle Sensor.

Machine Offsets
Parameters
Select Script File
: Lets you select a script (.pss) file to be used during the
scripted setup procedure.
Camera Assisted Script
: When this feature is ON, the camera is utilized
when calculating offsets during the scripted setup procedures. This
eliminates the need to enter the dispensing area to align needles or height
sensor probes with requested locations.
Setup Fiducials
: Select Setup Fiducials to teach fiducial locations for the
Fiducial Assisted Setup procedure. See 4.5.3.2 Setup.
Use Lookup Camera
– Available when the system is configured with a
lookup camera. Adds prompt windows to the offset routines that support
calibration of the valve lookup camera that is used for viewing the valve
nozzle.
Use Service Station Data
- Enables the Fiducial Setup for the dispense
service station. Permits the use of fiducials to automate the offset calibration
process.
