Setting up the Fluid Manager

The Fluid Manager is a powerful tool that contains information about the dispensing fluid, such as line,
dot, and mass parameters; purge duration; and pot life. It also contains flow rate setup parameters for the
Mass Flow Calibration System. Mass Flow Calibration makes it possible to dispense the proper amount
of fluid every time and helps to reduce setup time on a daily basis by eliminating trial-by-error guesswork
for the various input parameters.
Parameters are set up through the FmXP Fluid Manager. To open the Fluid Manager, select
Configuration > Setup Fluid Manager
the Fluid Manager may contain the following tabs:
•
Purge Parameters
•
Flow Rate Parameters (DV-Series, DP-Series Valves)
•
Dot Weight Parameters (DJ-Series Valves)
•
Weight Verification
•
Pot Life/Low Fluid Check
•
Attach Script Files
Click on the appropriate tab to set the fluid parameters for your particular dispensing program. The Fluid
Manager information is recorded in a fluid file (.FLU ) that is attached to the program file and
automatically loaded with the program. This helps to ensure that the correct dispensing parameters are
used each time the program is run.
For example, through the Fluid Manager, the user can describe how a flow rate is to be taken and provide
for a statistically meaningful approach to the measurement (i.e., 30 samples of virtually any shot
duration). The S-920 uses these flow rate parameters to calculate the required on-time during dispensing
to achieve the specified mass. After you have defined all fluid parameters, enter the fluid name and click
on Figure 6-17 .
