- Page 2 INTRODUCTION This procedure guides you through a typical data collection process. If you need additional detail, consult the Users Help Guide in the software. The M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler depends on the MAP (Machine-Assembly-Process) software to control how it collects and inter- prets data.
- Page 3 OPERATION - FRESH START Step 1: Set MAP information 1) Double-click the M.O.L.E. ® MAP application icon to start the software. 2) Using the USB cable, connect the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler to the com- puter. 3) Make sure the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler Power Pack battery is fully charged.
- Page 4 OPERATION - FRESH START When navigating through the wizard, the step list on the left of the dialog box uses a color key to inform the user of the progres- sion through the wizard. Current Completed Remaining 5) On the Start dialog box, click the Fresh Start command button and the workflow wizard appears.
- Page 5 OPERATION - FRESH START 8) Select a machine from the drop-down list. If the desired machine does not appear in the list, click the New command button to create a new machine. 9) Set the machine recipe settings, such as Conveyor Speed, Zone Temperatures and Temperature units.
- Page 6 OPERATION - FRESH START 11) Enter the assembly information such as part number, test product size, sensor locations and a product image. 12) Click the Next command button. 13) Unwind the sensor leads and insert the connectors into the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler.
- Page 7 OPERATION - FRESH START 15) Select your process specification. The user can select a standard or user created Paste from the database. Then choose the Profile Type (Ramp-Soak-Spike Ramp-to-Spike). If your Paste does not appear in the database list click the New command button to create a new one.
- Page 8 OPERATION - FRESH START 17) Set Recording Parameters such as the instrument name, recording interval, start parameters and stop parameters. This step is where the user can also turn a sensor channel ON or OFF, set the sensor location description and sensor type. M.O.L.E.
- Page 9 OPERATION - FRESH START 19) Verify the instrument status. This dialog box displays the health of the M.O.L.E. Thermal Profiler such as battery charge, internal temperature, thermocouple temperatures. If everything is OK, the dialog box displays GREEN sign. If there are any items that may prevent the user from collecting good data, they are highlighted and a sign...
- Page 10 OPERATION - FRESH START Step 2: Perform Data Run 1) Place the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler in the thermal barrier. Never permit the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler to exceed the absolute maximum warranteed internal temperature, permanent damage may result. The thermal barrier supplied with the system is specifically designed...
- Page 11 OPERATION - FRESH START The Record button will need to be pressed even if the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler is configured to begin recording data if start parameters Trigger Tempera- ture or Points Delay are configured. 3) Pass the thermally protected M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler and test solar cell through your process.
- Page 12 OPERATION - FRESH START 5) Open the thermal barrier and if the Record LED is still flashing this means the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler is still record- ing and it must be stopped by pressing the Record button. If a thermocouple sensor is removed before the M.O.L.E.
- Page 13 OPERATION - FRESH START Step 3: Read Data Run 1) Restore the software and click the Finish command button to read the data run from the M.O.L.E. ® Thermal Profiler. On this step of the wizard, the user has the ability to remove a selected data run from the V-M.O.L.E.
- Page 14 OPERATION - FRESH START 2) When the data run has been down- loaded, the software will prompt the user to save the data run file (*.XMG). 3) When finished, click the Save command button.
- Page 15 OPERATION - FRESH START 4) The software then prompts the user if they want to enter Prediction mode. Enter- ing prediction mode enables the user to change a zone temperature values or the conveyor speed and predict the outcome of that change on the data run profile.
