4. Software Operation Interface 4.1. User interface introduction 1. Operation- Force, distance, analysis curve, press position diagram, product data of the pressing process during production operations, production schedule and other data, production status monitoring, automatic storage and query of force curve. In addition, various error indications are linked to the operating instructions to assist in troubleshooting.
6. Parameter Setup- This is to set the storage path of the press recipe, drawings, statistics, graphs, and production records. The safety settings can be used to set the press force, time, standby point traversing value, PCB, connector. When the machine is set up, it is effectively protected against damage.
3. Permission description- The permission item is related to the limitation of each function box on the homepage except the last one “Connector database” refers to the connector setting function and continuous pressing function in the edit recipe. Add - Create user name and password information, check the permission item, and press Add to add the user. Update - Click to modify the user name, click to edit the permission item, and then press Update to modify the user permissions.
3. Data display column - After confirming the call recipe file, the part number, creator, top press head fixture, bottom bearing fixture and PCB number will be displayed. 4. Parameter display table - After the recipe file is confirmed, the parameter values and corresponding press fixture numbers are displayed for each item set on the backplane.

The press curve of the same connector will be different with the roughness of the surface of the plating layer in the terminal and PCB hole. During the pressing process, the force rises above the force upper limit is abnormal. The operation will also be stopped and a warning message will be sent out. 3) Save key - Use this key to store separately and set the path and file name in the continuous press test curve.
4.6. Continue press Press and continue to set the job function and page description. Used for press parameter test - 1. This functional test can be used when the connector manufacturer does not provide force standard parameters for the press connector. 2.

2) ORI_SERIES - Enter the original part number of the connector. You can also use this condition to query the database information. 3) BRANDS - Enter the brand name of the connector's maker such as Tyco、Molex、Nextron.. 4) P.S. - Enter the description of the connector.
Page 21
5) MOD_UP #1 and #2 - Enter the number of the upper tool used by the corresponding connector. 6) MOD_DOWN #1 - Enter the number of the lower tool used by the corresponding connector. The above fields are required to input data. If you do not need to enter the fields, please enter NA. The input contents cannot have any spaces.
