Auto Removal
(not pictured) – This option takes the place of the other automation options when
creating a removal profile. When checked, the IR-3100 will automatically remove the component
at the end of the heating cycle.
VI.
Trial and Graph
options – These four
columns control information displayed on
the profile graph while a profile is run
during development, as well as what is
seen by anyone later running the profile
from Production Mode.
•
Trial Number
– Selects which trial run
is currently active.
•
Show Trial Graph
– Can be used to
display the profile graph of multiple
trial runs in the Profile Graph Chart for
comparison.
•
TC Control
– When selected, this
allows the profile to be controlled using
the chosen thermocouple instead of
the IR pyrometer.
•
Production Sensor
– This is used to
select a profile graph from the chosen
thermocouple sensor(s) to be
displayed on the production screen for
reference, once the profile has been
saved.
VII.
Clear Sensors
– Pressing clear will
reset the current and highest
temperature for the respective sensor.
VIII.
Sensor Offset
(for IR Pyrometer) – This input will adjust the pyrometer
±
50
°
c, to compensate for
measurement variations that may come from different surface textures/finishes on the electronic
components being reworked. Verify by using additional thermocouples or visual observation of solder
melt using Sodr-Cam during a trial profile.
IX.
Use Offset
– Click this to use and save the current Sensor Offset to the profile.
X.
Stairs Slope
– Controls how the temperature slope measurement in the profile graph is interacted with.
Selecting two points on the same temperature curve will display the
temperature over time
(or slope) for
between the two points of the curve. When Stairs Slope is checked, selecting a point outside of an
existing slope measurement will create a new measurement from the nearest end of the existing slope.
When Stairs Slope is not engaged, selecting a point outside of an existing slope measurement will
extend the measurement to that point, but selecting a point inside of the measurement will shorten it.
XI.
Profile instructions/specifications block
– This block can be used to store text notes or instructions
about the profile for future reference during production runs. This information cannot be changed by the
production mode user.
XII.
Trigger
– The trigger temperature is set for each profile
and provides a consistent starting point each time the
profile is performed. Represented in the Profile Graph as
the first green dot on the left side. The Temperature
Trigger Point can be set between 60-150
°
C by moving
the left-most green point up or down on the Profile Graph
or manually entering a number in the box.
