This operation procedure guides you through a typical process on how to set a M.O.L.E. thermal profiler up for performing a data run. For additional detail, consult the Help System in the software. The M.O.L.E. thermal profiler depends on the MAP (Machine-Assembly-Process) software to control how it collects and interprets data.
