Again, scrolling to the next step will show us the available parameters for a
cooling step.
And we now recognize the duration parameter, as well as the crucible tilting angle
and motion speed. The two crucible-related parameters are used to control the
straightening up of the crucible holder. There is typically no rocking motion
available in this step, except if the pouring was previously turned off; the system
would then assume that the user wishes to perform a "non-pouring" fusion (e.g.
pyrosulfate and peroxide).
Typically, the tilting angle of "Cooling 1" will be the same as the pouring, and the
tilting angle of "Cooling 2" will be ninety degrees (90°) to prevent residual drops
from sliding on the outside wall of the crucible, or fall onto the cooling bead. This
will give some time for the flux to pour completely out of the mold during "Cooling
1", while partially straightening the crucibles when the blower starts at the
beginning of "Cooling 2".

Before being allowed to manage fusion program and edit parameters,
one must enter the correct password. To do so, click on the padlock
icon/button.
After touching the padlock button, a numeric keypad will
pop up, ready for password entry.
Type the password, which is 2014.
