Same Specs for all TCs – By deselecting this checkbox, you will assign separate specifications for
each individual thermocouple you are using. After deselecting the checkbox, you’ll need to click on
the
Edit Specs button to choose which statistics will be used and what spec limits will be set for each
thermocouple used. This option would be used if you had component specific specifications that differ
from the general solder paste specs. Another use for this would be if you wanted to monitor the actual
board temperature as well as component temps. You would then only select the statistics for that TC
that are relevant. If you wish to use the same specifications for all thermocouples, put a check mark in
the box.
