Getting Started with the GLOVEBOX Powering up the GLOVEBOX Verify the electrical service input requirements are met, and all power connections are plugged in. Verify the proper line pressures for all gases are correct and that all tube connections are tight. Check to see that the power connection is made.
Figure 1 Login Screen GloveBox Status Window Information After entering a valid User Name and Password, the GLOVEBOX application establish communication with the system’s controller, which monitors and controls all GloveBox status. Then it tries to turn on the oven temperature controllers and puts them in the standby mode. The main Glovebox display window will be presented which has five pull down menu choices: File, Logon, Glovebox, Batch and Help (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 GLOVEBOX Main window and the GloveBox Status window. At the upper center of the GloveBox status window is information on GloveBox activities, controls and errors. If none of these are present or happening, this area of the window is blank. For each chamber, the status of the outer door and inner door is shown.
selected oven schedule will become active. If batch report is not active, the oven will start immediately after the Start Oven button is pressed. If batch report is active, the user will be promped to enter the operator name and batch id. As soon as the oven is started, the text for the Start Oven button changes to Stop Oven.
choices; Time or Temperature or Temperature & Pressure. This parameter applies to all the segments in a given oven schedule. If this parameter is set to Time, the time duration is counted from the start of the oven schedule (for the first segment) or from the completion of the previous segment (for segments other than the first segment).

Figure 4 Pump Down and Oven Settings Screen Please note that the Oven Schedule Editor and the Pump Down Schedule Editor are both located on the same USER INTERFACE SCREEN shown above. To edit an existing oven schedule, first select the schedule by highlighting it in the Oven Schedule list box located at the lower left part of the USER INTERFACE SCREEN.
Figure 5 Schedule Report Screen Add a New Segment Click the Add button to add a new segment at the selected segment position and push the selected segment one position lower in the schedule. If no segment is selected before clicking the Add button, the new segment will be appended at the end of the schedule.
Change the default parameters as necessary and then click the “OK” button to finish. Edit an Existing Segment Select the segment to be edited by highlighting that segment and then click the Edit button. The following edit window shows up as a result: Figure 7 Edit Segment Screen Select the numeric up-down control or the drop down list desired and use the middle mouse button or the keyboard or the up and down arrow of the control to change the value for that...
Create a New Schedule If you wish to create a new schedule, press the New button on the Pump Down and Oven Setting USER INTERFACE SCREEN. The following dialog window with all the default parameter values appears. Figure 8 Create New Oven Schedule Screen Enter a name for the new oven schedule and make changes to the default parameter values as necessary.
Create and Edit a Pump Down Schedule A Pump Down schedule is used to evacuate gas in an oven/interchange chamber with vacuum, and backfill the chamber with process gas to prevent contamination of the enclosure environment. In order to completely get rid of the wet gas in an oven/interchange chamber, multiple evacuate and backfill cycles may be needed.
Figure 10 Create New Pump Down Schedule Screen Edit an Existing Pump Down Schedule Select the pump down schedule to be edited from the Pump Down list box in the Schedule editor USER INTERFACE SCREEN. The selected pump down schedule is displayed on the USER INTERFACE SCREEN.
Environment Settings The Environment Settings dialog window is accessed by clicking the “GloveBox” Main window menu and select “Environment Settings”. The user must have proper “rights” to be able to change the environment setting parameters. Figure 11 Environment Settings Screen The Environment Settings USER INTERFACE SCREEN is shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: The High Limit setting is always at least 0.5 greater than the Low Limit setting. This is enforced by the GLOVEBOX software to ensure that the system works smoothly. Moisture Settings: Alarm Level – The color of the moisture alarm turns red when the dew point temperature of the enclosure exceeds this setting and turns back to green when the dew point temperature drops below this setting.
Helium Settings: Note: An optional helium analyzer needs to be installed for these parameters to be active. Alarm Level – The color of the Helium alarm turns red when the Helium level in the enclosure drops below this setting, and turns back to green when the Helium level exceeds this setting. Weld Inhibit Level –...
Graphical Data Display GLOVEBOX monitors the statuses of the oven/interchange chambers and GloveBox enclosure, and logs the relevant important parameters. These parameters include enclosure environment pressure, enclosure Helium level, enclosure Oxygen level, enclosure moisture level, left chamber vacuum pressure, left oven temperature, right chamber vacuum pressure and right oven temperature.
View History Graph Data To view history graph data, click the history button, then select the year, month and date of the graph data you would like to view from the Year, Month and Date list box respectively. Finally select the process parameters of interest. The entire graph data for the selected date will be displayed.
Batch Report Batch Report When creating an oven schedule, Batch Log can be checked to generate a batch report. A batch report is a series of data for each segment where certain parameters of the temperature and pressure are recorded. Click on Batch then Report to display the Batch Log Report Viewer as displayed below.
Batch Setting Click on Batch then Setting to display the batch report setting as shown in the figure below. Maximum Files determines the maximum number of batch report that can be stored. When the maximum number of files is reached and a new report is created, the oldest report will be automatically deleted.
