NOTE You should perform a
Valve Offsets
routine before beginning a production run. If you
change the needle during a production run, you need to perform only the shorter
Find
Needle XYZ
procedure to continue dispensing.
Scripted Valve Offsets
The
Scripted Valve Offsets
procedure allows you to customize machine offsets routines to suit your
specific application and system configuration, reducing setup time. You can use one of the machine setup
scripts included with FmNT, or create a custom script file (see the
Setup Scripts Options
in FmNT for
more information on developing your own script). A customized script allows you to rerun previous steps
without starting from the beginning, and to exit the routine at any point. Prompted setup scripts can be
designed for each fluid pump type used in your application, or for dual-action dispensing. See the
Fluidmove for Windows User Guide and
Scripted Prompted Setup
in FmNT Online Help for further
information.

Camera-Assisted Scripted Valve Offsets
Camera-Assisted Scripted Valve Offsets routines were developed to improve operator safety by using
the camera to verify accuracy of needle position when calculating machine offsets. Previous offset
routines including
Calculate Master Offsets , Valve Offsets , and Scripted Valve Offsets required the
user to confirm the accuracy of needle placement from within the work area, increasing the risk of
mechanical injury or burns. The CASVO routine, updated from
Scripted Valve Offsets
procedures, uses
the camera to position the needle for faster, safer calculation of machine offsets.
