Easy Oven Setup
Not available in Insight Reflow Tracker Basic and Reflow Lite.
Easy Oven Setup provides a rapid, simple and effective way to tune the settings
of your reflow oven in order to produce the temperature profile you require
for a specific solder paste and a specific application. It lets you achieve this in
two different ways:
• Profile Prediction Alter the oven settings of an existing temperature
profile to predict a new desired profile.
• Recipe Prediction Use the specification of your solder paste to
create recipes predicted to produce the desired temperature profile.
For full details of Easy Oven Setup and all other aspects of the Insight software –
particularly data analysis and the use of process files – see the online Help
system (on Insight's menu bar, select Help > Contents).
Profile Prediction
By starting with an existing temperature profile, you may alter the oven settings
which were used originally to produce it, and immediately see the predicted
effect of those adjustments on the profile shape. By a succession of such
predictions it is thus possible to arrive at a recipe which will produce a desired
target profile. The stages are as follows.
1. Open the temperature profile (paqfile) to be used as the basis for
prediction. Ensure that the paqfile has a process file (see above) associated
with it, and that the oven start position is set correctly.
2. Click or select Easy Oven Setup > Profile Predict.
3. The prediction is then performed, and the results are displayed in the main
Graph and Analysis Windows.
4. In the Oven Settings grid, oven zone temperatures can be edited: enter new
trial values in the 'New' column, and click
profile (if lower and upper oven zone temperatures have been set differently
in the recipe of the original profile, both are shown); repeat this to modify
the shape of the profile as necessary. Predicted results are listed first in the
analysis grid, and in the graph window the predicted probe traces are
overlaid (in brighter colors) on the original profile. To change the sort order
of the probes in the analysis grid, click
