In the header you can choose a free name and a medium, this serves for yourself for
orientation. In version 1.0.0 only the name of the . csv file itself is displayed.
Start of the profile:
The profile must start with the "0" second (Absolute Time column in S), here you write a
temperature value behind it, which should be approached before the soldering profile starts.
Before the profile starts in the vapor phase soldering system, the vapor phase soldering
system will try to regulate the assembly to this temperature.
During the profile:
You can now set the correct time in seconds and the desired temperature value behind it.
The vapor phase soldering system interpolates linearly between the temperature values to
create a profile. Spreadsheet programs with the functionality to display graphs (such as
Microsoft Excel©) are helpful for creating a profile.
Exit the profile:
The profile ends automatically when you write a "0" in the temperature column. The Quick
Cool of the VPO begins. Then the "Anti Condensation Temperature" phase begins. The vapor
phase soldering system tries to keep the assembly at 120°C to avoid leaving Galden©
residues on the board. The lift with the assembly moves up when the "Open Lid"
Temperature has been reached.
