RUN and SET buttons being multifunction buttons. Depending on the dialog, there are various commands above the keys that are activated by pressing the keys. Fortex Engineering Ltd, Unit 16, Freeman Road, Lincoln, LN6 9AP, United Kingdom www.fortex.co.uk sales@fortex.co.uk... -
Page 8: The Temperature Curve
This temperature curve is one of the most important parameters to ensure product quality. A standard reflow process typically has five temperature zones. For this reason, you can define 5 temperature zones in the RF100 software to map the standard reflow process. -
Page 9: Setting Of Parameters
In general, the parameters are set during commissioning and each time the requirements change due to other materials, components or solder pastes.
